Innovations in Energy Storage, Solar Cells, Energy Management, and Fuel Cells

This edition of the Energy and Power Systems TechVision Opportunity Engine (TOE) focuses on innovations in energy storage technologies. Lithium-sulfur battery is an emerging battery technology due to its high specific gravity over conventional sources. New cathode materials for Li-S are explored. Other forms of energy storage such as thermal batteries and fuel cells are also discussed. The TOE also features advances in perovskite solar cells that improve power conversion efficiency. The TOE also provides intelligence on solar technologies that simultaneously produce potable water and electricity. It also focuses on fuel cell technologies that produce hydrogen fuel with the potential to act as a replacement for diesel gensets.

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.
