Topic 9.C: Automated Classification and Validation System for Building Data
SBC: ONBOARD DATA, INC. Topic: 09cBuildings account for 30% of final global energy consumption and 28% of global energy-related CO2 emissions. Advanced analytics and controls software has been shown to curb unnecessary energy use, and generate individual building and portfolio energy savings of up to 47% and 33%, respectively. Unfortunately, the status quo to deploy these powerful technologies is slow, expensive and often inaccura ...

Hybrid Model-based Approach for Remote Diagnostics and Prognostics for Wind Turbines.
SBC: QUALTECH SYSTEMS, INC. Topic: 15bOffshore wind turbines have the inherent drawbacks of being remotely located and subject to harsh weather conditions such as storms, snow and sleet, that subject them to operational stresses. With the growing demand for wind energy in the US, it is imperative to maximize the operational efficiencies of the wind turbines and minimize the Levelised Cost Of Energy (LCOE). Qualtech Systems, Inc. (QSI) ...

Supercritical Reforming of Wet Ethanol for High Efficiency Direct-injection Heavy-duty Compression-ignition Engines
SBC: WISCONSIN ENGINE RESEARCH CONSULTANTS LLC Topic: 13dModern heavy-duty and medium-duty compression ignition engines are relatively efficient and power dense but still suffer from relatively high criteria pollutant and greenhouse gas emissions. Furthermore, the suite of exhaust after-treatment devices required to meet the current criteria pollutant emissions standards is both complicated and expensive. In some cases the after- treatment system cost r ...
