FY19 Report on the Status of Sodium Exposure Tests of the A709 First Commercial Heat

This report provides an update on the understanding of the effects of sodium exposures on tensile properties of advanced alloy A709 in support of the design and operation of structural components in sodium-cooled fast reactors (SFRs). The focus of the FY19 program was (a) to complete the sodium exposure of sub-sized specimens from A 709 lab heats and 316H (a reference material) and (b) to continue sodium exposure of sub-sized specimens from A 709 commercial heat 58776.

Fuel Cell Buses in U.S. Transit Fleets: Current Status 2015

This report, published annually, summarizes the progress of fuel cell electric bus (FCEB) development in the United States and discusses the achievements and challenges of introducing fuel cell propulsion in transit. Various stakeholders, including FCEB developers, transit agencies, and system integrators, have expressed the value of this annual status report, which provides a summary of results from evaluations performed by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory. The annual status report tracks the progress of the FCEB industry toward meeting technical targets, documents the lessons learned, and discusses the path forward for commercial viability of fuel cell technology for transit buses. The 2015 summary results primarily focus on the most recent year for each demonstration, from August 2014 through July 2015. The results for these buses account for more than 1,045,000 miles traveled and 83,000 hours of fuel cell power system operation. The primary results presented in the report are from two demonstrations of fuel-cell-dominant bus designs: the Zero Emission Bay Area Demonstration Group led by Alameda-Contra Costa Transit District (AC Transit) in California and the American Fuel Cell Bus Project at SunLine Transit Agency in California.

Report on the status of a slotted wind tunnel wall representation using the vortex-lattice technique

A combined analytical/experimental program for development of an improved slotted wind-tunnel wall representation is described. The effort is scheduled for completion in 1977. The vortex-lattice technique which is being used as the primary analytical tool for representing both the wind-tunnel and the lifting model is discussed. Comparisons of results obtained to date with available data are presented.

Polar communications: Status and recommendations. Report of the Science Working Group

The capabilities of the existing communication links within the polar regions, as well as between the polar regions and the continental United States, are summarized. These capabilities are placed in the context of the principal scientific disciplines that are active in polar research, and in the context of how scientists both utilize and are limited by present technologies. Based on an assessment of the scientific objectives potentially achievable with improved communication capabilities, a list of requirements on and recommendations for communication capabilities necessary to support polar science over the next ten years is given.

Fuel Cell Buses in U.S. Transit Fleets: Current Status 2017

This report, published annually, summarizes the progress of fuel cell electric bus (FCEB) development in the United States and discusses the achievements and challenges of introducing fuel cell propulsion in transit. The report provides a summary of results from evaluations performed by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory. This annual status report combines results from all FCEB demonstrations, tracks the progress of the FCEB industry toward meeting technical targets, documents the lessons learned, and discusses the path forward for commercial viability of fuel cell technology for transit buses. These data and analyses help provide needed information to guide future early-stage research and development. The 2017 summary results primarily focus on the most recent year for each demonstration, from August 2016 through July 2017. The primary results presented in the report are from five demonstrations of two different fuel-cell-dominant bus designs: Zero Emission Bay Area Demonstration Group led by Alameda-Contra Costa Transit District (AC Transit) in California; American Fuel Cell Bus (AFCB) Project at SunLine Transit Agency in California; AFCB Project at the University of California at Irvine; AFCB Project at Orange County Transportation Authority; and AFCB Project at Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority.

Fuel Cell Buses in U.S. Transit Fleets: Current Status 2018

This report, published annually, summarizes the progress of fuel cell electric bus (FCEB) development in the United States and discusses the achievements and challenges of introducing fuel cell propulsion in transit. The report provides a summary of results from evaluations performed by the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE's) National Renewable Energy Laboratory. This annual status report combines results from all FCEB demonstrations, tracks the progress of the FCEB industry toward meeting technical targets, documents the lessons learned, and discusses the path forward for commercial viability of fuel cell technology for transit buses. The data from these early FCEB deployments funded by the U.S. Department of Transportation, state agencies, and the private sector help to guide future early-stage research and development supported by DOE's Fuel Cell Technologies Office. The 2018 summary results primarily focus on the most recent year for each demonstration, from August 2017 through July 2018. NREL has included an up-to-date analysis of operational costs including scheduled and unscheduled cost and cost per mile by system. The primary results presented in the report are from five demonstrations of two different fuel-cell-dominant bus designs.
