Magnetocaloric Generator for Geothermal Heat Energy Recovery
SBC: Aqwest, LLC Topic: 10cTraditional means for production of electricity from geothermal (GT heat use hot water naturally occurring in some locations at or near Earths surface or hot water obtained from deep wells. The former limits geothermally produced electricity to very few locations in areas of significant volcanic activity. The latter offers more application sites but the extreme cost of the required deep, high-tem ...

High-Shear-Strength, Radiation-Resistant Electrical Insulations for Plasma Confinement Magnets
SBC: COMPOSITE TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT, INC. Topic: 22cThe United States Department of Energy is developing several devices to advance the development of fusion energy. Key components of these systems are the large, complex magnet systems used to shape and confine the plasma. Electrical insulations are needed to ensure that these magnets operate reliably over long periods of time, and improvements in shear strength and radiation resistance will be c ...

Low-Temperature Stirling Engine for Geothermal Electricity Generation
SBC: Cool Energy, Inc. Topic: 10cUp to 2700 terawatt-hours per year of geothermal electricity generation capacity has been shown to be available within North America, typically with wells drilled into geologically active regions of the earths crust where this energy is concentrated (Huttrer, 2001). Of this potential, about half is considered to have temperatures high enough for conventional (steam-based) power production, while ...

A Compact, Low Power Depolarization Backscattering Cloud Spectrometer for Water and Ice Discrimination
SBC: Droplet Measurement Technologies, LLC Topic: 03bMixed phase clouds, i.e. those that contain water droplets and ice crystals, make up a large fraction of the clouds that are found over the Arctic region. The radiative impact of these clouds on climate modulation is highly sensitive to the relative mix of water and ice, the size distribution of these hydrometeors and the shape and optical properties of the ice crystals. The properties of mixed ph ...

Solid Polymer Electrolytes with High Lithium Ion Conductivity and Transport Number for Hybrid Electric Power-train Systems
SBC: HYBRID PLASTICS Topic: 09bCurrent energy storage devices have energy densities that are barely sufficient for low cost electric-vehicles and rely on lithium ion batteries that use flammable, unsafe, liquid electrolytes. However, in order to replace liquid electrolyes in lithium batteries for hybrid electric power train systems, solid polymer electrolytes, which have the advantages of safety and flexibility, must attain con ...

A Watershed Based Web Tool Enhancing Climate Model Output Usage
SBC: Ientech LLC Topic: 07aThe native format of netCDF generated from regional climate models (RCMs) is not readily accessible or useable by the general public who may not have analytical tools to plot, visualize, or analyze the data. In response to this need, the overall long term objective of this study is to make high resolution climate change simulations model results in the North American Regional Climate Change Assess ...

Advanced Technologies for Compact 100 W-class Ultrafast Ti:sapphire Lasers to Support DOE Facilities Needs
SBC: Kapteyn-Murnane Laboratories, Inc. Topic: 09dThe development of new DOE ultrashort-pulse x-ray facilities creates exciting new possibilities for understanding dynamic processes in nature on the fundamental atomic length and length scales; i.e. sub- nm and femtosecond. However, to make full use of planned facilities such as the Short Pulse X-ray (SPX) facility planned as a major part of the Advanced Photon Source Upgrade (APS-U), correspondin ...

User-Centered, Collaborative, Web and Radiance-Based Lighting Simulation, Visualization, and Analysis
SBC: LIGHT FOUNDRY, LLC Topic: 02cThe Radiance lighting simulation system, primarily developed by the Department of Energy, is capable of helping teams solve a variety of problems related to daylight and energy efficiency. Nevertheless, for non-experts this platform is notoriously difficult to install and use, hence limiting its impact to industry. The technical objective is to harden Radiance for profitable commercial use. Light ...
