    摘要: Some embodiments provide a system to protect an electric vehicle charging infrastructure. An electric vehicle charging site may receive AC power from a power grid and provide DC power to electric vehicles. The charging site may include a plurality of monitoring nodes each generating a series of current monitoring node values over time that represent a current operation of the electric vehicle charging infrastructure. A supply equipment communication controller may receive an access request from an access requestor associated with an electric vehicle, the access request being associated with a platform certificate. A secondary actor policy decision point at the charging site may evaluate the access requestor's identity and respond with an action message allowing high-level communication with the access requestor to proceed. Note that information associated with the current monitoring node values and/or the access request may be stored in a secure, distributed transaction ledger (e.g., an attestation blockchain).

    摘要: A fuel cell unit that includes a support structure having a plurality of flow channels and an active layer membrane coupled with the support structure, the active layer membrane comprising at least one electrode layer. Each flow channel of the plurality of flow channels is configured to direct one of air and fuel across at least one electrode layer of an active layer membrane to create electric current. Each flow channel of the plurality of flow channels includes at least one enhancement feature that is configured to disrupt a formation of a boundary layer near a surface of the active layer membrane where reactions occur. The plurality of flow channels can be positioned in a zig-zag configuration to allow for an increase in power density of the fuel cell unit.
