Description

This edition of the Energy & Power Systems (EPS) TOE features deployment of building energy management systems, which reduce energy consumption and maintenance costs. The TOE covers innovations based on the use of energy-efficient and heat resistant panels made of radiated materials to aid cooling systems. The TOE additionally provides insights on the fabrication of thin-film flexible solar cells, which are extremely scalable and offer high power conversion efficiency. The TOE also provides latest innovations in the installation of floating photovoltaic systems offering higher energy yield, use of hydro-flow turbines for continuous power production, and the production of sustainable fuels from captured carbon dioxide using catalytic technologies.

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.
