Distributed On-Blade Control for Enhanced Wind Turbine Performance
SBC: CONTINUUM DYNAMICS INC Topic: 04Wind turbines must improve both overall efficiency and reliability if they are to compete successfully with alternate energy sources on a cost-per-kilowatt-hour basis. High efficiency operation typically requires some form of adaptation of the turbine to variable wind speed conditions, while enhanced reliability can be realized through improvements in the turbine rotor and support structure fatig ...

Gas Turbine Application of Carbon Fiber Nanocomposite with Fabric Reinforced Protective Coating
SBC: DIAMOND MATERIALS INC Topic: 10New carbon materials and composites with 1-10 nm crystallite sizes are low-cost, lightweight, and scalable, and have unique wear and high temperature characteristics. These materials have been incorporated in newly-developed coatings, which have been applied to gas turbine components (nozzles, vanes, liners, and blades) to improve performance. This project will develop a new carbon-fiber/nano-ca ...

Step-Out Process to Upgrade Clycerol to Bio-Diesel
SBC: Exelus, Inc. Topic: 07According to the National Biodiesel Board, 86 commercial biodiesel plants currently operate in the US, with an equal number of new plants either under construction or undergoing expansion. Total US production capacity is expected to be almost 2 billion gallons per year once the current projects are complete, and growth is rapid. At this production rate, over 660,000 metric tons of glycerol will b ...

A Cost-Effective Analytical Technology for Identification and Measurement of Greenhouse Gases
SBC: Lenterra, Inc. Topic: 47This project will develop a portable gas analyzer that is capable of identifying and measuring the concentrations of CO2, CO and other trace greenhouse gas constituents. The analyzer will combine a micro-gas chromatograph (GC) with a plasma detector based on Penning Ionization Electron Spectroscopy (PIES), and will provide sample identification that is independent of the GC retention time. In Ph ...

Automated Objective Speech Intelligibility Assessment System
SBC: LI CREATIVE TECHNOLOGIES INC Topic: CBD07106Based on our successful experiences in automatic speech recognition, we propose a unique and promising solution for the automated objective speech intelligibility assessment system. It consists of a pair of head and torso simulators placed at the same distance as typical face-to-face communication, a power amplifier, a laptop computer, a speech recognizer, and console software. The simulator has a ...

Multi-Zone Flow Through Membrane and Reagents for Onsite Detection of Domoic Acid
SBC: Mercury Science Inc. Topic: 832There is a need for a simple, affordable method for measuring domoic acid in the field. This project will develop a rapid, onsite kit for domoic acid featuring a filter membrane that produces a readable color response without need for instrumentation. The filter membrane contains three or more zones with different assay characteristics in close proximity. These zones will indicate different co ...

Combined Controls and Energy Storage for Distributed Wind Turbine Grid Integration
SBC: PRINCETON POWER SYSTEMS, INC. Topic: 04The unpredictability of wind power generation prevents utilities from dispatching wind energy to meet demand requirements and also prevents wind energy from being generated during peak demand periods when it is most valuable. There is a need for an integrated wind turbine controller and energy storage system that is dispatchable by the utility, while also time-shifting wind power to maximize its ...

Wind Energy Reliability and Cost Reduction:Wind Turbine Health Monitoring Systems
SBC: SENTIENT SCIENCE CORPORATION Topic: 04Wind energy has numerous benefits as a power source, including price stability, lack of greenhouse gas emissions, revitalization of rural areas, and lack of dependence on imported fuels. As wind increases its penetration into the US power market, it is imperative to minimize costs and maximize reliability, so that it can compete fully with traditional power sources. The primary recurring cost of ...

Miniature Spherical Retroreflectors Fabricated by Fluidized Bed CVD
SBC: STRUCTURED MATERIALS INDUSTRIES, INC. Topic: 42As part of the DOE Proliferation Detection Program, miniature spherical lenses are sought for remote chemical detection using LIDAR. These miniature lenses can serve as retroreflectors for the atmospheric detection of chemical threat agents. Currently, there is no reliable method for producing these spherical lenses, which require a graded index profile of at least 0.2 over their entire radius, ...
