Vertical-Axis Wind Turbines for Powering Cellular Communication Towers

Plourde B.D., Abraham J.P., Mowry G.S., University of St. Thomas, US
A vertical-axis turbine has been designed to power cellular communication towers. The turbine’s design is specifically focused on providing continuous power to manage the tower’s electronics without interfering with the tower structure. The design of [...]

A Smarter Grid enables Communal MicroGrids

Mohn T., General MicroGrids, Inc, US
As policy makers seek to integrate a serious sociological and environmental issue into energy production, the typical utility is faced with not only technology upgrades, but also dealing with new systemic events that occur far [...]

High-Power-Density Miniscale Renewable Energy Systems

Lyshevski S.E., Rochester Institute of Technology, US
This paper reports design, analysis, evaluations and characterization of miniscale self-sustained power generation systems. Our ultimate objective is to guarantee highly-efficient mechanical-to-electrical energy conversion, ensure premier wind- or hydro- energy harvesting capabilities, enable electric machinery [...]

Process-Fluid-Lubricated Polycrystalline Diamond Bearings for application in Marine Hydrokinetic Machines

Sexton T.N., Cooley C.H., US Synthetic Corp., US
Polycrystalline diamond thrust and radial bearings have proven to be successful in harsh environments, such as those encountered in down-hole oil and gas drilling tools. They are particularly well suited for applications where a harsh [...]

Offshore Renewable Resources – Improving the Cost-of-Energy

Roznitsky S., HighSeasWind, US
The U.S. has an abundance of wind and wave offshore resources suitable for industrial-scale power generation, the best resources are in deep waters. Cost-of-Energy (COE) is defined as Production Facility’s Total Costs (C) divided by [...]

Offshore Wave and Wind Together – Afloat

Brown N.A., Float Incorporated, US
Offshore wind and wave power are, or can be, remarkably complimentary. Given a stable floating platform to share, important economies of renewable power production and storage are possible. (A figure shows how wind and wave [...]

Mobile Wave Energy Harvesting System

Sharon A., Briggs J., Wirz H., Boston University - Fraunhofer CMI, US
Conventional approaches to harvesting energy from ocean waves and currents suffer from at least three major drawbacks: 1) expensive underwater power transmission cables, 2) storm damage susceptibility, and 3) energy output is not delivered at [...]

Carbon Capture and Recycling by photocatalysts supported on Silica Nanosprings

Prakash T., Marin-Flores O.G., Cantrell T., Grant Norton M., McIlroy D.N., Corti G., GoNano Technologies, Inc., US
Greenhouse Gas mitigation is seen as a necessity by both the USA and the international community. GoNano Technologies Inc. is currently developing Carbon Capture and Recycling(CCR) technology as an alternative and/or a complement to the [...]

Technology Development for Large Scale Electrochemical Conversion of CO2 to Useful Products

Agarwal A.S., Zhai Y., Hill D., Sridhar N., Det Norske Veritas (DNV), US
This work deals with a new technology development for conversion of carbon dioxide to useful value added products. The focus is on how to make the process economically feasible so that it can be viable [...]

Dilute Methane Pollution Control That Produces Continuous Clean Renewable Energy

Blair J., Fukumoto P., FlexEnergy, US
Methane is a greenhouse gas that has 25 times the environmental impact of carbon dioxide. Millions of tons of manmade methane seep into the atmosphere each year. Controlling this methane has been problematic. Much of [...]
