Download or read book Community Energy Storage Thermal Analysis and Management Cooperative Research and Development Final Report CRADA Number CRD 11 445 written by and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The goal of this project is to create thermal solutions and models for community energy storage devices using both purpose-designed batteries and EV or PHEV batteries. Modeling will be employed to identify major factors of a device's lifetime and performance. Simultaneously, several devices will be characterized to determine their electrical and thermal performance under controlled conditions. After the factors are identified, a variety of thermal design approaches will be evaluated to improve the performance of energy storage devices. Upon completion of this project, recommendations for community energy storage device enclosures, thermal management systems, and/or battery sourcing will be made. NREL's interest is in both new and aged batteries.

This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hyperlight Energy is an innovative concentrated solar power (CSP) company whose business charter is to commercialize a disruptively low-cost, CSP collector system that is ultimately for providing heat for solar thermal/geothermal hybrid power plants, process heat applications (e.g., enhanced oil recovery), and solar thermal power generation. Hyperlight's CSP collector system utilizes a linear Fresnel reflector (LFR) configuration. This LFR configuration consists of mirrors mounted in low-cost, precision plastic extrusions, which are integrated into raft assemblies and floated on low-cost, sealed waterbeds. Hyperlight's CSP collector technology has been developed under private equity investment, government grant and commercial funding. Hyperlight has been awarded a $1.5-million DOE COLLECTS contract with an additional $1.6 million in matched funds from private investment and the California Energy Commission. This DOE project will support the final steps of product development for bulk commercialization and deployment of the Hyperlight CSP collector system. The work will culminate in a final operational deployment at a commercially relevant site. Several such site options are currently under evaluation, including two geothermal sites. Hyperlight identified a very low-cost way to put renewable energy electrons on the grid at peak times, upgrading underutilized geothermal plants with Hyperlight's low cost CSP and thermal energy storage (TES). While Hyperlight's CSP collector work is maturing quickly for commercial pilot launch, an optimal TES system for solar thermal/geothermal hybridization needs to be evaluated and ultimately developed so Hyperlight can develop commercial retrofit projects at a scale of hundreds of megawatts of renewable energy power output at sites across the United States, followed by greenfield projects in a multi-GW sized market.

Download or read book Principles of Infrared Technology written by John Lester Miller and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 585 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about general infrared (IR) engineering, technology, practices, and principles as they apply to modem imaging systems. An alternative title to this book with appeal to managers and marketing personnel might be "Everything You Always Wanted to Know about Infrared Sensors, but Couldn't Get Answers on from Engineers." This book is not meant to be a comprehensive compendium of IR (like the Infrared and Electro Optical Systems Handbook). Rather, it is intend ed to complement such texts by providing up to date information and pragmatic knowledge that is difficult to locate outside of periodicals. The information contained in this book is critical in the day-to-day life of en gineering practitioners, proposal writers, and those on the periphery of an IR pro gram. It serves as a guide for engineers wishing to "catch up," engineers new to the field, managers, students, administrators, and technicians. It is also useful for seasoned IR engineers who want to review recent technological developments.
Download or read book Real World Drug Discovery written by Robert M. Rydzewski and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2010-07-07 with total page 535 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drug discovery increasingly requires a common understanding by researchers of the many and diverse factors that go into the making of new medicines. The scientist entering the field will immediately face important issues for which his education may not have prepared him: project teams, patent law, consultants, target product profiles, industry trends, Gantt charts, target validation, pharmacokinetics, proteomics, phenotype assays, biomarkers, and many other unfamiliar topics for which a basic understanding must somehow be obtained. Even the more experienced scientist can find it frustratingly difficult to get an overview of the many factors involved in modern drug discovery and often only after years of exploring does a whole and integrated picture emerge in the mind of the researcher.Real World Drug Discovery: A Chemist's Guide to Biotech and Pharmaceutical Research presents this kind of map of the landscape of drug discovery. In a single, readable volume it outlines processes and explains essential concepts and terms for the recent science graduate wondering what to expect in pharma or biotech, the medicinal chemist seeking a broader and more timely understanding of the industry, or the contractor or collaborator whose understanding of the commercial drug discovery process could increase the value of his contribution to it. - Interviews with well-known experts in many of the fields involved, giving insightful comments from authorities on many of the sub-disciplines important to cutting edge drug discovery. - Helpful suggestions gleaned from years of experience in biotech and pharma, which represents a repository drug discovery "lore" not previously available in any book. - "Periodic Table of Drugs" listing current top-selling drugs arranged by target and laid out so that structural similarities and differences are plain and clear. - Extensive use of diagrams to illustrate concepts like biotech startup models, preteomic profiling for target identification, Gantt charts for project planning, etc.

Download or read book Is War Necessary for Economic Growth written by Vernon W. Ruttan and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2006-01-05 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Military and defense-related procurement has been an important source of technology development across a broad spectrum of industries that account for an important share of United States industrial production. In this book, the author focuses on six general-purpose technologies: interchangeable parts and mass production; military and commercial aircraft; nuclear energy and electric power; computers and semiconductors; the INTERNET; and the space industries. In each of these industries, technology development would have occurred more slowly, and in some case much more slowly or not at all, in the absence of military and defense-related procurement. The book addresses three questions that have significant implications for the future growth of the United States economy. One is whether changes in the structure of the United States economy and of the defense-industrial base preclude military and defense-related procurement from playing the role in the development of advanced technology in the future, comparable to the role it has played in the past. A second question is whether public support for commercially oriented research and development will become an important source of new general-purpose technologies. A third and more disturbing question is whether a major war, or the threat of major war, will be necessary to mobilize the scientific, technical, and financial resources necessary to induce the development of new general-purpose technologies. When the history of United States technology development in the next half century is written, it will focus on incremental rather than revolutionary changes in both military and commercial technology. It will also be written within the context of slower productivity growth than of the relatively high rates that prevailed in the United States in the 1950s and 1960s or during the information technology bubble that began in the early 1990s. These will impose severe constraints on the capacity of the United States to sustain a global-class military posture and a position of leadership in the global economy.
