Description

This edition of the Energy and Power Systems TechVision Opportunity Engine (TOE) focuses on developments and innovations in battery storage. Apart from innovations in next-generation battery chemistries such as lithium-silicon and sodium-ion, material developments in lithium-ion batteries are also covered. The use of high energy density batteries for marine applications is also discussed. Upcoming battery chemistries such as lithium-oxygen batteries are also covered. The TOE also discusses high energy efficiency wave energy converters. An interesting innovation on improvement of electric motor efficiency for electric vehicles is discussed. Recent developments in perovksite solar cells such as all-tandem solar cells that improve power conversion efficiency are also discussed.

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.
