COGMCI – Toward a Zero CO2 Economy

Boschiero do Espirito Santo D., Sisterm Thermal Systems, BR

Intermittent electricity (solar and wind) needs to be equilibrated with resilient supply. Fuel demand can be partially replaced by electric cars, heat pumps, and electrical equipment. How much additional electricity will be required? How much [...]

Improving Hybrid Efficiency and Flexibility by Integrating Thermal Energy Storage into the Fuel Cell System

Tucker D., Harun N.F., Zaccaria V., Shadle L., National Energy Technology Laboratory, US

Power plants must be flexible in operation to meet changing load requirements throughout the day while ensuring economic feasibility. As renewable energy systems penetrate the market producing inconsistent power, the primary concern of power plants [...]

Energy and Nanomaterials: Interfacial Synergy

Vander Wal R.L., Penn State University, US

With energy at the forefront of the national economy and security energy-directed applications are of particular interest. Not surprisingly, energy and materials are intimately related. Many forms of energy utilization, conversion and storage and generation [...]

River, Lake and Ocean Water Cooling

Peterson J., HP, US

Using water directly from rivers, lakes, and oceans is becoming an option for end users to save energy, avoid ozone depleting refrigerants, and save space. The first system in the U.S. at Ithica, NY, which [...]

Intelligent Energy Management and Power Distribution Panel

Chen H., Duli Technology LLC, US

Current solar photovoltaic (PV) systems for residential homes have several drawbacks. Grid tied PV systems with energy storage are very expensive, whereas grid tied PV systems without energy storage may cause unstable and unpredictable power [...]

High Efficiency Nanofiber Reflectors for Lighting Applications

Lynn Davis J., RTI International, US

Nanofibers are an advanced optical media that can deliver extremely high reflectance values over large areas. The materials are made in high volumes in a roll-to-roll process using known spinning technologies. Nanofiber reflectors are particularly [...]
