Novel Module Architecture Development for Increased Reliability and Reduced Costs
SBC: Creative Light Source, Inc Topic: 07aStatement of Problem: The US DOE has set a goal to advance photovoltaics (PV) technology to reach installed costs of less than $1/Watt. This requires module costs below $0.50/ Watt. Thin film PV provides the lowest documented production cost per watt ($0.67) of any PV technology. Module reliability has a direct impact on the levalized cost of energy (LCOE), or the cost of the energy produced by ...

Practical Fiber Delivered Laser Ignition Systems for Vehicles
SBC: Seaforth LLC Topic: 08bImproved ignition methods are needed for advanced vehicle combustion systems, in particular those that allow reliable ignition of lean mixtures in gasoline engines at elevated pressures. Laser ignition is a candidate technology having the potential to address these needs. However, despite more than 40 years of laser ignition research, the technology is not yet in commercial use. A critical proble ...

Automated Cache Performance Analysis and Optimization in Open|SpeedShop
SBC: ARGO NAVIS TECHNOLOGIES, LLC Topic: 02bWhile there is no lack of performance counter tools for coarse-grained measurement of cache activity, there is a critical lack of tools for relating data layout to cache behavior to application performance. Generally, any nontrivial optimizations are either not done at all, or are done by hand requiring significant time and expertise. To the best of our knowledge no tool available to users measure ...

Novel Materials for Higher Order Mode Suppressors
SBC: Nano Materials Innovation Center, Llc Topic: 32bThere is a need to increase the beam intensity of particle accelerators based on superconducting RF cavities, but detrimental Higher Order Modes (HOMs) generate inside the cavities. HOMs excite the beam and lead to instabilities and particle losses. HOM dampers absorb this RF power and are critical component, but next generation HOM absorber materials are needed to enable increased beam intensitie ...

Synthesis of a Potential Fast Ionic Conductor for Mg+ Ions
SBC: POWDERMET INC Topic: 15bDevelopment of a solid with high conductivity of Mg2+ cations will allow application of that substance as membrane in magnesium-air batteries. These batteries will be much cheaper, safer, and at the same time store much more energy than lead-, lithium- or sodium batteries with the same weight. Such batteries would be ideal for electric vehicles and for the off-peak storage of renewable elect ...

PUMA-V: Polyhedral User Mapping Assistant and Visualizer
SBC: Reservoir Labs, Inc. Topic: 39eCalculations undertaken by physicists for solving fundamental problems such as Lattice Quantum Chromo Dynamics (LQCD) are prohibitively demanding without expertly optimized software. Such software is very complex and costly to write and maintain without automated tools, especially for advanced heterogeneous architectures. PUMA-V provides these automated tools, an optimization and visualization too ...

Virtual Accelerator Support for HPC Clouds
SBC: RNET TECHNOLOGIES INC Topic: 02aDue to huge levels of computing parallelism and higher performance per watt, comuting accelerators are crucial for increasing HPC efficiency. This is economically significant for small and medium size manufacturing companies (SMMs) and essential for transition to Exascale computing. However, due to high procurement costs, in-house maintenance of an accelerated HPC cluster is prohibitive for many ...

Cavity Enhanced Thomson Scattering System for Low Temperature Plasmas
SBC: Seaforth LLC Topic: 30aElectrons play a very key role in plasma chemistry and dynamics of low temperature plasmas. Improved capability for measuring electron number density, ne, and electron energy distribution function, EEDF, in weakly ionized low temperature plasmas would benefit both fundamental study and application areas. For example, the capability would directly benefit emerging research targeted at modifying and ...

Multiscale Hydrogeologic-Biogeochemical Process Monitoring and Prediction Framework
SBC: SUBSURFACE INSIGHTS LLC Topic: 20aIn the 21st century society will need to address and resolve a large number of subsurface challenges related to energy and environmental issues. These challenges include contaminant cleanup and long term site management at contaminated sites, long term storage of nuclear fuel, carbon cycling and sequestration, production of unconventional resources (oil shales and tight gas) and water resource man ...

Thermoelectric Systems for High-Efficiency, Low-Cost Vehicle Waste Heat Recovery
SBC: CREARE LLC Topic: 06fAn enormous amount of energy from burning hydrocarbon fuels is wasted as heat in vehicle exhaust gas. The goal of this project is to improve vehicle efficiency and reduce fuel consumption by converting some of this heat into electric power. We will develop a solid state thermoelectric generator (TEG) that can efficiently produce electric power from high-temperature exhaust heat. The approach is to ...
