InterSolar Middle East Conference 2017 E-mobility - Global Technology / Local MENA Market Trends & Developments Masdar and E-Mobility September 2017 Fatima Al Suwaidi Project Engineer Masdar Clean Energy
Overview
Masdar HOW WE OPERATE Masdar has turned vision into reality by: • Deploying landmark clean energy projects in the UAE and international markets • Pioneering sustainable real estate • Advancing clean-tech innovation • Delivering world-class industry and knowledge platforms PURPOSE VISION MISSION To forge a link between the To make Abu Dhabi the To advance the development fossil fuel economy of today world’s reference for and adoption of commercially and the clean energy knowledge and collaboration viable solutions in renewable economy of tomorrow - on the advancement of energy and sustainable real helping to build a resilient renewable energy, clean estate that address the knowledge-based economy technologies and sustainable sustainability challenges of as the most effective strategy development. the UAE, the Middle East and to secure the long-term international markets. prosperity of the UAE.
Masdar Masdar City Masdar City aims to be one of the most sustainable urban communities in the world. A clean-tech cluster, free zone and investment zone, Masdar City attracts companies seeking to commercialise and deploy new energy technologies in the Middle East. Masdar City buildings Masdar City to be first designed to be at least “4 PEARL” 40% community in Abu more energy and water Dhabi based on the efficiency than emirate’s mandatory conventional urban sustainability buildings
Masdar and Mobility Masdar City is pioneering sustainable mobility: Driverless Personal Rapid Transport (PRT), providing electric mobility to more than 2 million passengers since 2010, operates 18 hours a day Early adopter of electric vehicles, including Mitsubishi i-MiEV, Nissan Leaf, converted electric bus, etc. Masdar recognizes that mobility is a key component of sustainable urban development EV community pilot Driverless Personal Rapid Transport
Masdar and Mobility Masdar Driverless Personal Rapid Transport (PRT) Operational at Masdar City since 2010 Average power consumption: 0.2kWh / km Fleet size: 9 PRT vehicles Quiet operation 2 million+ passengers transported to date Light weight electric vehicles Average daily passenger numbers: 1,500 Carbon benefit: Average total distance driven daily: 550 km 70% reduction over car 18 hours a day operation, 365 days a year 50% reduction over bus
Electric Vehicles Two million and counting… Global electric car stock still accounts for a small fraction, 0.2%, of the total passenger light- duty vehicles in circulation worldwide (1 billion) (Source: Global EV outlook 2017 by IEA) UAE: Tesla opens its very first showroom in the region in Dubai. 50 new electric vehicles have been added to Dubai Taxi fleet and to reach 200 by 2019 Transportation is one of the key pillars of UAE Energy Strategy for 2050 Masdar City installed the first rapid charger in the Middle East back in 2011 and recently added Tesla superchargers Masdar EV rapid charger
Electric Buses Electric buses are available from various suppliers, and in operation in various cities around the world The electric bus market is moving beyond the demonstration phase into commercial deployment E.g. Public transport operator in Paris is planning to replace 80% of its existing bus fleet with electric buses by 2025 – this translates to roughly 4,000 electric buses being deployed in the next 8 years (RATP, 2017) Adoption in the UAE (or Middle East) has been slow at best due to: Concerns on the long-term performance of batteries Higher requirements on thermal comfort management, during a long warm and hot season
Electric Buses Benefits: Reduction in CO 2 emissions Reduction in noise pollution Improved air quality Expected reduction in operational cost Less tear & wear on the vehicle which leads to less maintenance Reduced fire and explosion hazards Less dependence on gas filling stations Challenges: Higher initial purchase price E-buses are new to the market Uncertainty on long term battery performance Detailed operational testing is required
Masdar Initiative Electric Bus for Masdar City Masdar and Hafilat Industry , a bus manufacturer based in Abu Dhabi, partnered to jointly develop and test an operational prototype electric bus specifically designed to operate under UAE’s challenging climatic conditions This project has four main strategic benefits: Positioning Masdar’s role as one of the leaders in electric transportation in the UAE Overcomes the climate hurdles that make most electric transportation unsuitable in this region Develops a local design and manufacturing capability Leverage on Khalifa University of Science & Technology (KUST) expertise Current concept allows flexibility in developing different sizes Launch of E-Bus Concept in ADSW 2017
Masdar Initiative E-Bus Prototype Features Length : 10.5 m; width : 2.5m; height : 3.2m 27 passenger seats + standees ≈ 150 km based on stop -start operation (ideal for Masdar City) Light weight as it is made of unique Aluminum profiles Low entry floor Water cooled batteries Batteries located at the rear of the bus for safe containment & enhanced modularity Advanced AC cabin design Electrochromic windows for smart & adaptive shading reducing cooling needs
Associated Research and Development in collaboration with K halifa U niversity of S cience & T echnology Design reviews and support on components selection Battery management and cooling Heat mitigation and energy consumption Route planning and charging Monitoring and evaluation of performance of the bus Monitoring of customer satisfaction Techno-commercial analysis Environmental benefit analysis
Projected Plan Concept Phase Development Phase Validation Phase Commercialization (Nov ‘16 – Jan ‘17) (Feb ‘17 – Dec ‘17) (Jan ‘18 – Jan ‘20) (post 2020) • Create a design • Develop, test and validate • Demonstration of an • Low volume production reminiscent of Masdar’s electric bus for Abu Dubai operational prototype of electric buses based on values and aesthetics bus off-takers orders • Assessment of required • Testing to be conducted technologies for electric in Masdar City, to validate bus operation in the UAE all exterior & interior conditions of the prototype • Monitor & track performance of the prototype bus
