BluWav Systems LLC, the Rochester Hills-based hybrid electric technology company, said this month it had received a $1.2 million congressional earmark to accelerate the company's research and development activities into energy storage systems.
The funding allows BluWav to develop energy storage systems that are optimal for integration with fuel cell-based power generation.
The system will take advantage of the unique attributes of fuel cell start, run, and shut down sequences, provide a vehicle with an electric-only range compatible with a majority of commuter drive cycles, and focus on energy absorption through regenerative braking by incorporating electric drives using the latest BluWav brushless DC motor technology.
