EC 6th framework programme

HyHEELS provides an UltraCap energy storage system for the use in hybrid- and fuel cell vehicles, which satisfies all properties necessary to make an integrative component. The development work comprises the optimisation of the electric properties of the basic cap, its combination into scalable modules with integrated power balancing, power prediction and the communication interface with the drivetrain.

HyHEELS belongs to the EC 6th framework programme in the domains

• Sustainable energy systems
