Enhanced Precision in Geothermal Reservoir Characterization and Exploitation
SBC: Introspective Systems, LLC Topic: 21aA seminal report by MIT estimated that Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS) could provide 100 GW of cost competitive base-load capacity by 2050. Successful integration of this renewable power source and the offsetting of fossil fuels (mainly coal) could reduce 401 million metric tons of carbon dioxide and decrease the US total CO2 emissions by 6.1%. The development of this geothermal resources presen ...

Cyber Security Detection at the Edge of the Grid
SBC: Athena Power, Inc. Topic: 01bCyber hacking of critical infrastructure is a concern for our national security, especially in the power/electric utility sector where utilities loose $13.2M per attack. Given the vulnerabilities within the value-chain of electric delivery, the distribution network is an enormous blind-spot and highly susceptible to cyber intrusion. This project looks to address this issue, as sought by the DoE, b ...

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 ...

Integrated Membrane Reactor for Enhancing Thermal & Chemical Reactors
SBC: COMPACT MEMBRANE SYSTEMS, INC. Topic: 06cWith development of shale gas fracking, large amounts of methane and ethane have now become available at low cost. With this low cost ethane it is desirable to convert low cost ethane to high value ethylene. Oxidative dehydrogenation (ODH) for low cost conversion of ethane to ethylene is a potentially attractive route. ODH is an exothermic process for converting ethane to ethylene. By contrast pro ...
