Hydrogen refueling station costs in Shanghai

System integration of wind-powered hydrogen refueling station ----- From national level to a case study

A new approach factor- entropy with application to business costs of SMEs in Shanghai

Business cost is acknowledged as one of the priorities in SMEs research. In thisstudy, the business cost of SMEs in Shanghai was primarily measured using Factor-Entropy analysis method. The purpose of this study is to effectively resolve the issueof simplification and assignment evaluation index system on business costs of SMEsin Shanghai. However, this study uses factor analysis to interpret t...

Metro Station Operating Costs: An Econometric Analysis

This article develops an econometric analysis of metro station operating cost to identify factors that create variation in cost efficiency. Stations operating costs can be classified amongst the semifixed costs that a metro faces in the sense that they do not vary proportionately with metro output. They may therefore be important in determining the degree of returns to density. This article see...

An optimization framework for cost effective design of refueling station infrastructure for alternative fuel vehicles

Historically, gasoline and diesel fuels have been used for transportation, but the possible decline of oil supplies in the future is forcing nations to consider alternative fuels. Most technically and economically feasible alternative fuels have a lower energy density than gasoline, which results in a shorter range for these vehicles. This necessitates a greater need for convenient access to re...

Behavioral Response to Hydrogen Fuel Cell Vehicles and Refueling: Results of California Drive Clinics

Over the last several decades, hydrogen fuel cell vehicles (FCVs) have emerged as a zero tailpipe-emission alternative to the battery electric vehicle (EV). To address questions about consumer reaction to FCVs, this report presents the results of a “ride-and-drive” clinic series (n=182) held in 2007 with a Mercedes-Benz A-Class “F-Cell” hydrogen FCV. The clinic evaluated participant reactions t...
