Research Overview

This edition of the Energy & Power Systems (EPS) TOE features information on the deployment of highly efficient and durable ducted wind turbines onshore for improved renewable energy generation. The TOE covers innovations based on the use of hydrogen fuel cell generators that can replace conventional diesel generators for recreational purposes. The TOE additionally provides insights on the installation of cost-effective floating solar platforms for deployment in offshore environments. The TOE provides latest innovations in the use of grapheme aluminum-ion batteries, which have faster charging rates and more battery life as compared to Li-ion batteries. The TOE also provides the latest insights on the use of next generation lithium-sulfur batteries, modular nuclear reactors to generate carbon-free energy with high safety and the use of silicon solar cells with very high energy conversion 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.
