Research Overview

This edition of the Energy & Power Systems TOE covers the use of magnet-free electric motors that can be efficiently used in the transportation sector, the development of smart motor systems that can be used in HVAC, transportation, and building applications, and the development of novel method for the fabrication of large scale perovskite solar cells. The TOE features information on the use of artificial photosynthesis for green hydrogen production and the utilization of novel methods for the production of renewable energy from geothermal sources. The TOE also focuses on innovations associated with the generation of renewable energy from luminescent windows, and hydrogen-based renewable energy storage technologies. The TOE additionally provides insights and the latest developments in Li-ion and flow batteries, which enables the overall increase in battery efficiency.

The Energy and Power Systems TOE provides insights on the latest advances in the broad range of technology related to the energy industry. The topics regularly presented range from energy storage technologies (solid state batteries, solar chemical storage and other advanced energy storage devices) to non-renewable energy such as oil and gas. Special emphasis is given to emerging areas in the renewable sector such as photovoltaics, wind energy, and geothermal energy, and emerging alternative fuels such as hydrogen, syngas, ethanol and biofuels. The EPS TOE keeps clients abreast of the latest R&D developments at major corporate and academic research centers, provides competitor intelligence and helps create strategic alliances.

The Energy and Environment cluster provides global insights and intelligence on a wide variety of disruptive emerging technologies and platforms ranging from energy storage, advanced batteries, solar and wind energy, to unconventional oil, bioenergy, geothermal energy, and energy transmission.
