Advanced Fischer-Tropsch Technology for the 21st Century
SBC: Exelus, Inc. Topic: 3272039-Converting natural gas to liquids will enable the economic development of stranded gas reserves, which are estimated at more than 4,000 trillion cubic feet and account for about 80% of all known gas reserves worldwide. Initial gas-to-liquids (GTL) technologies, implemented in the 1980s and early 1990s, were not commercially successful ¿ the main reason being that they were far too expensive ...

A High Efficiency Air Conditioner for Humidity Control in Residences
SBC: AIL RESEARCH INC Topic: 2672716-Air conditioners now on the market are very poor at controlling indoor humidity. In some buildings, high indoor humidity creates health problems and leads to the growth of mold and mildew; in other buildings, energy is wasted as the building owner overcools the indoor space to try to create comfortable conditions. A high efficiency air conditioner that also provided superior dehumidificati ...

An Advanced Gas Foil Bearing Using Supercritical Carbon Dioxide as the Working Fluid
SBC: MECHANICAL SOLUTIONS INC Topic: 20dAs new applications arise for supercritical CO2 (sCO2) power generation, and higher efficiencies are achieved through higher system pressures and temperatures, the need to improve technologies becomes essential. Traditionally lubricated and cooled oil bearings cannot tolerate these temperatures, and the higher pressures makes keeping the oil separate from the sCO2 an increasingly difficult challen ...

Development of a Wind Turbine Blade Surface Coating to Reduce Damage due to Lightning
SBC: AQUANIS, INC. Topic: 14bEvery year, the global wind industry loses an estimated $100M or more to damage caused by lightning.A new blade coating will reduce the damage to wind turbine blades caused by lightning by promoting the formation of ionization channels over the surface of the turbine blades, providing a safe external path for lightning energy to reach ground and preventing damaging blade punctures.The coating cons ...

Distributed Low Power OnBlade Control for Wind Turbine Load Mitigation
SBC: CONTINUUM DYNAMICS INC Topic: 19aThe economic viability of wind energy is critically dependent upon robust, long duration operation, while minimizing outages and costs for repair and ongoing maintenance. Active load mitigation offers a way to control both peak and fatigue inducing loads so as to forestall major failures, preclude costly repairs and service interruptions, and extend the life of wind turbine blades, generator compo ...

Fluidized Bed Production of Surface Functionalized Powders for Solid Oxide Fuel Cell Cathodes
SBC: STRUCTURED MATERIALS INDUSTRIES, INC. Topic: 15bThe use of surface functionalized powders can improve both performance and economy of solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC). With this approach, the best characteristics of two different materials can be fully exploited, such as the excellent conductivity of the backbone oxide and the excellent stability and catalytic activity of the surface layer. Previous efforts to produce surface functionalized powde ...

Hardening Advanced Methods for Predicting 3D Unsteady Flows Around Wind Turbines for Industrial Use
SBC: CONTINUUM DYNAMICS INC Topic: 02cWind power plays an increasingly important role in satisfying the power needs of the United States. With increased market penetration, unanticipated unsteady loading induced failures, installation related reductions in power generation and significant maintenance costs have underscored the need to predict the unsteady fluid structure interactions related to turbine layout and off-design wind condi ...

High Current Silicon Carbide Schottky Diodes for Electric Drive Vehicle Power Electronics
SBC: United Silicon Carbide, Inc. Topic: 17bThe U.S. represents the world’s leading market for electric vehicles and is producing some of the most advanced plugin electric vehicles (PEV’s) available today. PEV’s are gaining widespread adoption every year, where 58% of all PEV sales occurred in 2013 and it is expected that by 2023, there will be ~3.2 million PEV’s on the road in the U.S. alone. To increase adoption and maintain this ...

High Performance Polymer Nanocomposites Specialty Coatings
SBC: NEI CORPORATION Topic: 2072639-The properties of waterborne organic coatings for several demanding applications are inadequate. By incorporating nanoparticles in the matrix, the properties and performance of organic coatings can be significantly improved in ways that had not been possible until now with coarser micron and sub-micron size particles. This project will develop waterborne polymer nanocomposite coatings that ...
