While engine test procedures are mainly applied to verify and ensure compliance to the various emission standards, vehicle test procedures were developed to simulate the vehicle in actual service (including engine, drive train and chassis). These drive cycles are usually performed on a chassis dynamometer, but can also be performed on test track. T...
Using Vito's on-board measuring system the influence of track, driving behaviour and traffic conditions on fuel consumption and emissions were studied for a small test fleet of passenger cars. City traffic resulted in the highest fuel consumption and emissions. Fuel consumption was about two times higher than for ring roads, which generally gave th...

Questions
Question (1)
I am looking for an available tool that I can use to evaluate different scenario's of using a small scale fuel cell as a CHP that provides the heat and electricity for a residential building. In the scenario's, we would like to investigate different energy pricing systems, different energy uses (e.g. existing building, low energy building, building with Electric Vehicle, ...) comparing is with conventional heating systems and electricity from the grid as well as comparing it with more advanced systems using renewable energy (PV and HP).
For PV, we used in the past the SAM-tool from NREL.
