Research Overview

This edition of the Energy & Power Systems (EPS) TOE features information about the use of cost-effective and safer robotic solutions for inspection and maintenance of wind turbines. The TOE covers innovations based on the use of air-borne wind energy for reducing the material requirements and footprint of wind power plants. The TOE provides latest innovations in the use of lithium metal and silicon anode-based batteries with high energy density, fast-charging, and superior safety for e-mobility applications. The TOE provides the latest insights on the use of microwave-based hydrogen production from natural gas. Finally, the TOE also provides insights about the use of cost-effective hydrogen combustion for heavy-duty vehicles and the use of solar powered vehicles for communities with limited access to central grid.

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.
