Bioenergy production from wastes and wastewaters in China

Fang H.H.P., The University of Hong Kong, HK

China is investing billions of US dollars annually on renewable energy production. China is leading the world not only in wind and solar energy production, but also in harnessing bioenergy from wastes and wastewater. The [...]

Mobile Hybrid Structures: Feasibility and Advantages

Gizara A.R., Integrated Power Technology Corporation, US

Several novel configurations of mobile oceanic renewable energy systems are presented with emphasis on advantages over existing planned offshore development. Consideration of certain historic weather and levelized cost of energy data indicates profitable operation for [...]

Competitive Advantageous Green Energy Technologies – Photovoltaic, Geothermal & Wind

Hullavarad N., Hullavarad S., Hullavarad N., Hullavarad S., University of Alaska Fairbanks, US

The objective of the study is to identify the changes in trends of non-fossil fuel energy industry demand, growth and opportunities. The study uses the databases such as patents, news events, income/financial statements to assess [...]

Interactions of Rocks with Supercritical CO2 and Water in Enhanced Geothermal Systems and Beyond

Petro M., PARC, a Xerox company, US

There is an abundance of heat but lack of fluids underground. Current drilling and fracturing technologies can provide necessary access to the hot rocks, creating so-called Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS). Despite the 100-fold increase in [...]

Sopogy’s MicroCSP

Kimura D.T., Sopogy, US

Sopogy’s micro-concentrated solar power technology, MicroCSP, launched in 2006 is now generating electricity, hot water and air conditioning at demonstration sites around the world. Sopogy’s MicroCSP is SRCC certified and ready for commercialization.

Reclaimed Laminate Waste as Novel, Heat Transfer Enhancing, Encapsulation for Long-term PCM Heat Storage

Desgrosseilliers L., Groulx D., White M.A., Dalhousie University, CA

The research has explored a use for Tetra pack waste, while addressing an energy storage need. One class of phase change materials (PCMs) for low temperature heat storage, called supercooled salt hydrates, produces a room [...]

A Study of Solar Radiation, Storage and Applications in Nigeria

Odia O.O., Ambrose Alli University, Ekpoma, Edo State, NG

The paper investigates the availability of solar energy in Auchi, a town in Nigeria located between longitude 6o15' East of the GM line and latitude 7o02' North of the Equator using photovoltaic solar cells and [...]

Ionic Liquids as Heat Transfer Medium

Schubert T.J.S., Sahin H., Beyersdorff T., Iolitec - Ionic Liquids Technologies GmbH, DE

Based on our investigations we will report an overview about thermally stable ILs. By pre-selecting a comprehensive matrix of different anions and cations from our substance library of more than 600 compounds, using known physical [...]

The identification of recombination centers in organic solar cells

Street R.A., Krakaris A., PARC, a Xerox company, US

To achieve high efficiency bulk heterojunction organic solar cells, it is necessary to identify and minimize the recombination centers that limit the performance. There is growing evidence that the dominant recombination is through trap states [...]

Ultrasonic Spraying of Carbon Nanotubes using NMP

Willey A., Davis R., Vanfleet R., Brigham Young University, US

We will present a new method for spraying thin films of carbon nanotubes, in which they are suspended in an organic solvent and then sprayed ultrasonically onto a heated substrate. These thin films have applications [...]
