Research Overview

This edition of the Energy & Power Systems (EPS) TOE features information about the use of paraboidal and solar tower based concentrated solar power technologies integrated with thermal energy storage systems for uninterrupted renewable energy generation. The TOE covers innovations based on the use of membrane-free saltwater electrolysis for hydrogen generation and ballast water treatment in ships. The TOE provides latest innovations in utilizing floating systems for the generation of cost-effective and reliable wave energy. The TOE provides the latest insights in the use of silicon-based anodes for enhancing performance characteristics of lithium-ion batteries. Finally, the TOE also provides insights about the use of silicon-based nanoparticles to increase the performance efficiency of perovskite solar cells and the use of micrometer sized metal hydrides for hydrogen storage.

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.
