College of Technology/BGSU Patent Awarded
Hybrid Electric Vehicle
Inventors: Gruenwald, Robert; Jeff.T Major; Palumbo, Anthony J.
A hybrid electric propulsion system for powering a vehicle using a natural fuel engine and an electric motor. The hybrid
electric vehicle is comprised of a drive train; electric motor for driving the drive train; an auxiliary power unit (APU);
an electric energy storage system electrically coupled to the electric motor; and wherein the auxiliary power unit and the
electric energy storage system provide energy for powering the vehicle. An electric bus is directly connected to both the
auxiliary power unit and the electric energy source and the voltage across the electric bus is substantially the same as the
voltage across the electric bus results in the same change to voltage across the electric energy source. A power management
controller is programmed to control output power of the power unit to maintain the energy storage system between a predetermined
high voltage set-point and a predetermined low voltage setpoint.

Kaptur Awards $3.15 Million in Wood County To Boost Energy
Independence & Environmental Upgrading
- Directs $1.25 million to Bowling Green and Luckey for Wastewater Infrastructure
BOWLING GREEN, OH - Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur (OH-9) whose new Congressional District excludes Wood County, today announced
that Bowling Green State University has been awarded double the amount funding -- $950,000 -- from NASA for the continued
development of its hybrid-bus project, included as a part of the fiscal year 2002 NASA Appropriations bill. Kaptur serves
as a senior Member of the NASA subcommittee, and is a strong supporter of the development of alternative domestic sources
of energy.
| “In announcing these awards today,” Kaptur said, “I am fully conscious that our state legislators and Governor have drawn
Wood County out of the 9th Congressional District. For this, I am truly regretful. It is my intention to continue serving
the natural community of Northwest Ohio, no matter where Columbus thinks we live, work, learn and steward the land.”
The Hybrid-System being developed at BGSU will contribute to domestic energy independence, energy diversity, and environmental
quality improvements, and provide the commercial user with a cost-effective solution. The hybrid-engine runs on an efficient
combination of diesel fuel and electricity, and future models could operate on biofuel – eliminating petroleum from the equation.
BGSU's technology was chosen for support because it offers a simple and economically viable solution that can be implemented
in the near future. This is because it supplements traditional engine drive trains while reducing fuel requirements and lowering
exhaust emissions. As future power sources such as fuel cells and micro turbines become cost effective, the BGSU technology
can also be applied. With previous assistance from NASA, BGSU has been working with an Ohio based contingent on this project
for several years and has tested the initial prototype with the Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority. “By developing
this alternative to traditional diesel buses we are investing in the future of our environment and our nation,” said Rep.
Kaptur.
“America’s chief strategic vulnerability remains our dependence on imported petroleum. We now import over half of what we
consume resulting in over $60 billion trade deficit annually. The trend is in the wrong direction,” Kaptur added.
|

Since 1983, the United States importation of petroleum and its derivatives has nearly tripled, rising from 1.25 billion barrels
in 1983 to a level of 3.3 billion barrels in the Year 2000.
“As a consumer, I want to purchase a biofueled car. Even though Detroit makes such a car, I cannot buy fuel for it at the
pump. The oil industry has a lock on fuel sold to American consumers. E85 engines, which are engines that run on 85% ethanol,
are manufactured right now by Detroit, but E85 fuel is not widely available due to the oil industry’s dominance of the market
and the delivery system,” explained Rep. Kaptur.
According to the Department of Agriculture, a sustained annual market of 100 million gallons of just bio-diesel would result
in a $170 million increase in income to farmers and a corresponding decrease in purchases from foreign sources. Adding BGSU
hybrid technology to a vehicle would reduce the fuel requirement in each vehicle by as much as 24%.
 |
Rep. Kaptur continued, “Putting America on a solid energy footing will require national leadership. Our Federal Government
must spur America forward, akin to the dawn of the space age and the establishment of NASA. We must demonstrate will here
at home first.
Becoming energy self-sufficient makes global economic sense too, because over the next 15 years world oil reserves will begin
diminishing, with prices rising even higher with each barrel pumped.”
“There is no more opportune time for our nation to get serious. Let us free America from its dependence on foreign petroleum,”
Rep. Kaptur said.
BGSU's Electric Vehicle Institute is considered a national leader in the development of electric and hybrid vehicle systems.
"This federal funding will enable us to take our research to the next level," said Barry Piersol, director of the Electric
Vehicle Institute. "With each step we take in developing these new systems, the potential for commercial applications looms
larger. Soon these component parts may be mass produced in Ohio and exported around the world."
|
Kaptur has been pushing hard in Congress to wean America off its dangerous dependence on imported petroleum through the development
of a broad array of alternative energy sources, including new engine designs and new fuels such as biofuels, clean coal, hydrogen
and photovoltaic's.
Congresswoman Kaptur also announced a grant of $950,000 from NASA to the OhioView Consortium based at Bowling Green State
University included in the fiscal year 2002 Veterans Affairs-Housing & Urban Development and Independent Agencies Appropriations
bill. The OhioView program uses cutting edge technologies for real-time environmental monitoring and land use planning.
Bowling Green State University administers the program that includes ten public Ohio Universities, including the University
of Toledo. A grassroots organization formed to make satellite data more accessible and to fill the knowledge gap in education
about the uses of the data. The data from remote sensing research is applicable to many industries and disciplines including
agriculture, forestry, geology, cartography, education, mathematics, hazard predication and mitigation, and urban planning.
Also while in Bowling Green, Kaptur announced two grants from the United States Environmental Protection Agency to address
sewer problems in Wood County. Initiated in the House version of the fiscal year 2002 Veterans Affairs-Housing & Urban Development
and Independent Agencies Appropriations bill $750,000 was directed for wastewater and combined sewer overflow infrastructure
improvements for the village of Luckey, OH. Also included in the legislation was $500,000 directed for improvements at the
City of Bowling Green’s sewer treatment plant. “These grants will allow our local communities to meet federal and state guidelines
for clean drinking water and sewage treatment,” Kaptur said.
