Materials produced via additive manufacturing, or 3D printing, can experience significant residual stress, distortion and cracking, negatively impacting the manufacturing process.

This invention presents an integrated strategy to reduce end-user electricity costs and grid carbon emissions by efficiently utilizing Distributed Energy Resources (DER) and grid-scale electrical energy storage systems, such as batteries.

The invention aims to reduce the cost, weight and volume of existing on-board electric vehicle chargers by integrating power electronic converters of the chargers with the traction inverter.

Quantifying tool wear is historically challenging task due to variable human interpretation.  This capture system will allow for an entire side and the complete end of the cutting tool to be analyzed.

No readily available public data exists for vehicle class and weight information that covers the entire U.S. highway network. The Travel Monitoring Analysis System, managed by the Federal Highway Administration covers only less than 1% of the US highway network.

This disclosure introduces an innovative tool that capitalizes on historical data concerning the carbon intensity of the grid, distinct to each electric zone.

Technologies directed to an integrated on-board charger for dual motor based electric vehicle power train are described.
