Hi, thanks for those attending the Fall Meeting.
Minutes have been posted (thanks Eileen !)
I will be scheduling a meeting in October for the Task Force. We will check-in on the name change and start to plan for the spring meeting.
Name change details and topics below...
From : Trailer Refrigeration Unit Charging Infrastructure<u5:p></u5:p>
<u5:p> </u5:p>To : Transport Refrigeration Energy Optimization<u5:p></u5:p>
<u5:p> </u5:p>
Moving to a more blended approach for energy and efficiency. Topics will likely include:<u5:p></u5:p>
- Facility planning for shore power<u5:p></u5:p>
- Energy measurement, prediction and management methods including grid-event interactions<u5:p></u5:p>
- Route energy estimation<u5:p></u5:p>
- Best practices for route delivery operations to minimize energy use (diesel, or electric )<u5:p></u5:p>
<u5:p> </u5:p>
Goal is to generate content for short and longer term fleet needs around transport refrigeration and reducing operational costs and risk.<u5:p></u5:p>
There is interest in creating a technical paper / white paper / Case study on TRU Shore Power Energy Management as well as generating content for an RP focused on route delivery operational efficiency. We will talk about both topics and what materials we can prepare for the Spring Meeting.
thanks,
Matt
