The development of electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure and load management remains a significant challenge in the transition to sustainable mobility. This chapter explores the use of aluminum (Al) as an energy carrier to enable a hybrid management of BEV charging and fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV) hydrogen (H2) refueling. The use of aluminum enables on-site power and flexible H2 generation, enhancing flexibility and versatility in EV charge management strategies. The study introduces this emerging concept, providing a theoretical foundation for its techno-economic implications and presenting a formulated use case that examines the potential of the Al wet-combustion process for large hybrid charging stations. By leveraging aluminum’s high energy density, recyclability, and multi-functionality, this approach offers a promising pathway to improve charging infrastructure resilience and energy efficiency.

摘要

The development of electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure and load management remains a significant challenge in the transition to sustainable mobility. This chapter explores the use of aluminum (Al) as an energy carrier to enable a hybrid management of BEV charging and fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV) hydrogen (H2) refueling. The use of aluminum enables on-site power and flexible H2 generation, enhancing flexibility and versatility in EV charge management strategies. The study introduces this emerging concept, providing a theoretical foundation for its techno-economic implications and presenting a formulated use case that examines the potential of the Al wet-combustion process for large hybrid charging stations. By leveraging aluminum’s high energy density, recyclability, and multi-functionality, this approach offers a promising pathway to improve charging infrastructure resilience and energy efficiency.
