Preparing for Climate Change through Energy Internet and eVehicles: Must watch video: on the move electric vehicle charging at University of Auckland

Energy Internet and eVehicles Overview

Governments around the world are wrestling with the challenge of how to prepare society for inevitable climate change. To date most people have been focused on how to reduce Green House Gas emissions, but now there is growing recognition that regardless of what we do to mitigate against climate change the planet is going to be significantly warmer in the coming years with all the attendant problems of more frequent droughts, flooding, sever storms, etc. As such we need to invest in solutions that provide a more robust and resilient infrastructure to withstand this environmental onslaught especially for our electrical and telecommunications systems and at the same time reduce our carbon footprint.

Linking renewable energy with high speed Internet using fiber to the home combined with autonomous eVehicles and dynamic charging where vehicle's batteries are charged as it travels along the road, may provide for a whole new "energy Internet" infrastructure for linking small distributed renewable energy sources to users that is far more robust and resilient to survive climate change than today's centralized command and control infrastructure. These new energy architectures will also significantly reduce our carbon footprint. For more details please see:

Must watch video: on the move electric vehicle charging at University of Auckland

[I am very excited to see the recent announcement from University of Auckland of their very innovative inductive charging system for electric vehicles.
This is something I have been blogging about for some time that car manufacturers are trapped in an old world thinking that vehicles must be stationary to be refueled. This was true when using fossil fuels, but with electric vehicles there is no reason why they cannot be charged while on the move. This technology also allows retailers such as drive through banks or fast food restaurants to offer free charging of your electric vehicles from their roof top solar panels – “will that be fries with your free electric charge”. It also enables the idea that the electric vehicle can be an energy transport system in direct competition with the traditional utility grid. More importantly it complements our existing suburban lifestyle. It is innovations like this that maybe, just maybe, might save us from the Armageddon of global warming.
