NetEase car The first time to bring you a forum for fresh reports.

Dr. Martin Keller, deputy director of Oak Ridge National Laboratory, made a statement, he says to integrate drivers into more efficient, intelligent and safe systems, we need to build a car that can think, and it's important to know that big data is a very popular topic, with some big data, So how does this technology work, he can help us analyze a lot of data, such as large data science, management and use of some data load, can realize a lot of networking information sharing.

The following is the transcript of Dr. Martin Keller:

Thank you very much, first of all I would like to thank our host for giving me such an opportunity to speak here. I'll show you some of the work we've done in Oak Ridge Labs and let you know that basic science can actually contribute to the transportation sector. Our lab is in Tian West, about three hours ' drive from Atlanta, Now our annual budget is 1.65 billion dollars, there are 4,400 employees, and each year in the modern investment is about 500 million dollars, and our equipment is very advanced, and show us how we use these tools in the traffic field.

So our goal is to make some scientific discoveries and make some technological breakthroughs, and to promote development in the areas of clean energy and global security, which would have great economic opportunities for countries.

We have some scientific and technical projects, such as we use some neutrons, and we have some experiments and research on the technical structure of computational data, and we have some of the largest data center projects. We have studied science in the field of materials, we have done a lot of research in biological environment systems and climate change, and we have a lot of tools to improve energy efficiency, especially in the area of transportation.

We have a number of projects in the transportation field that are sustainable transportation, building energy efficiency, and high-end manufacturing sectors.

We have a sustainable transport field that we've talked about at today's conference, and we have a comprehensive approach, in different areas of the multi-pronged, for example in electrification, and we have a wireless power system, and there are modeling, as well as improve the material to make batteries are studied. And in terms of energy efficiency, we have some research on the engine and on the hybrid, including in alternative fuels, especially in the areas of intelligence, such as how to manage traffic jams, to effectively operate these commercial vehicles, and to make decisions and provide relevant data. All of these are all aspects of building a sustainable transportation system.

We now have a center for clean cars between China and the United States, mainly the University of Michigan, which has a clean research center, which has been in development for three years. We use neutron technology to produce cleaner batteries, and we do some research on the production of batteries, and we do some research on biofuels, which is that the next generation of biofuels, the properties of his fuel, and especially the possibility of mass production, have been studied.

We have the largest production facilities in terms of battery performance, and we also work with a number of other laboratories, our core is battery technology, and we want to produce safe and available batteries. And we have worked with the University of Michigan and other clients to share some of the achievements I've made over the years. First, we have a water treatment lithium battery project, the cost of the battery will be reduced by 20%. 2nd we have a problem with battery electronics, and we can see that he has a 24-hour process that can improve his efficiency by as much as 3 times times, and that the battery is better able to store electricity.

Our speech today also talked about the battery charge, which is also very important, in fact, we have three ways to do this. First of all, we have some rechargeable batteries, mainly depends on where you personally convenient to charge, and depends on your power supply is what the situation. For example, you go to a charging station to recharge, another is that we can be on the repeat route to allow the car to recharge, for example, for some buses and taxis, they can be repeated on the route to recharge, which can reduce the use of batteries. And we can charge dynamically, like on some electrified routes, or the mileage, we have a more dynamic way of charging, for example, in the electric car, they can be more flexible to charge, for example, from Beijing to Tianjin, we leave Beijing when the battery is full, and then to Tianjin can be recharged.

To reduce some of our heavy-truck carbon dioxide emissions, this is a very important issue for both China and the United States, and we have different options to do this, like we have a heavy truck, some electrified cars, and we have a system that integrates different systems together. For example, we will have a hybrid power, such as electricity and biofuels, and we have a new laboratory to study this advanced combustion, control the consumption of these fuels, a new laboratory, and mainly for heavy-truck carbon dioxide emissions.

For very efficient traffic we have a method, the first is direct burning power, in this case, there are from hybrid vehicles and efficient weight engines, to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, while requiring newer facilities and vehicle costs, and natural gas hybrid vehicles are not fully equipped, The second aspect is the conversion of natural gas to a liquid-burning fuel, which needs to be better compatible with petrol refueling, and with methanol, and can also be used in industrial liquids, as well as in the conversion of dimethyl ether at the charging station.

The last aspect is electricity generated in electric cars to drive electric cars to charge him, and here is a display of biomass to provide high-value materials. We have done a lot of research in this area, the problem is that cellulose, the second is cellulose, the third is lignin, our goal is to produce high-value products, but also to use supercapacitors, biofuels, biochemical biological formation and so on.

A carbon fiber technology facility has been built near our lab, demonstrating the expansion of lower-cost adult and higher processing methods, along with a very large amount of fiber, dedicated to the installation of prototype formation. At the same time, we will explore new, high-performance and lightweight production path, which in one respect is to carry out manufacturing and materials research and development, as well as leverage flexible use of our laboratories. The most important condition is to keep track of the two main focus areas, which is very important.

In am manufacturing we can drive innovation, make 3D objects, and build them directly from the computer model, which drives the entire manufacturing model. At the same time, eliminate some of the expensive process requirements, as well as some of the raw prefabricated requirements, to achieve lightweight, energy conservation and innovative systems, shorten time-to-market. Research and development are necessary to address technical challenges, such as the development and characterization of materials, the control of processes and the development of modules, etc. We have used a lot of AM manufacturing, am manufacturing of turbine blades, and internal cooling systems to produce turbines by optimizing the internal cooling structure to achieve maximum efficiency, resulting in very large participation stress and possibly handling some deformation problems.

The first aspect of neutron imaging is that it focuses on DPF and allows us to better understand the various behaviors, as well as EGR coolers, and the expansion of diesel fuel injectors, as well as imaging experiments that can benefit the development of this battery.

Let's take a look at this. A number of new user projects, business models can bring some advantages, for the entire industry is beneficial, through the collaboration with Ford to study the relevant processes to drive the instability of different cycles, through the United States and general company to cooperate to enhance our understanding and improve the design of understanding. We also have an open architecture software that strengthens research on computer-aided engineering, so that our batteries can promote faster battery design.

So for the entire car there is a whole model, build 3D frame, accurate our calibration. Today, the American auto industry is still under the unparalleled challenge, and we have to strengthen the architecture of design.

We also need to integrate drivers into more efficient, intelligent and secure system, we want to build a car is able to think, through some big data, people know that big data is a very popular topic is also very important, then how this technology to deal with, he can help us analyze a lot of data, such as large data science, Manage and use some data load, can realize many information sharing of the network. Also can contribute to the city navigation, thank you very much for listening today, thank you!
