Beyond battery power - CDE themed competition part 2
The document discusses the limitations of battery power for small autonomous robots and soldiers. While small robots are attractive for defense applications like reconnaissance and patrolling, battery technology cannot provide enough energy density for more than an hour or two of operation. Fuel cells and generators are not feasible options at small scales either. However, the document suggests some potential solutions being explored, such as photovoltaic energy capture from flames, novel engine/generator combinations, or single-use power sources that could operate for a day before recycling. The goal is to develop alternative power sources that would enable the widespread use of smaller autonomous robots in defense applications.

Fiberglass composites are the best material for wind turbine blades based on three key factors. Fiberglass composites are sufficiently strong for blades up to 65 meters, cost efficient to manufacture at scale using established techniques, and have low environmental impact compared to other materials like carbon fiber that are too expensive. While other materials like carbon fiber and wood composites may seem promising, fiberglass is the only option that meets the requirements of strength, affordability, and sustainability for large commercial wind turbines.

Beyond battery power: future autonomy
The document discusses the limitations of battery power for small autonomous robots and soldiers. While smaller robots are safer and more practical for defense applications, current battery technology only allows for an hour or two of operation, which is not enough. Batteries are also limited in their energy density and unlikely to improve much in the next 10-20 years. The document proposes potential alternative power solutions that could be explored, such as photovoltaic energy capture from flames, novel engine/generator combinations, or single-use power sources that last a day or two before recycling. It concludes that long-endurance power sources for smaller robots present an opportunity for defense applications if technical challenges can be addressed.
Austin Ctea Expo
This document discusses projections for the solar industry and lessons learned. It notes that global electricity demand is projected to grow to 15 terawatts by 2030, and that only solar power is inherently distributed at that scale without fuel costs. Historical growth trends for solar installations are presented for various countries. The document also discusses factors like falling costs and greater competitiveness that are driving further adoption of solar power. Examples of large-scale solar projects and installations in different locations are provided. Opportunities for more efficient solar products, manufacturing processes, and an integrated value chain are examined. Projections are given for continued declines in solar panel prices and for grid parity in more markets in the coming years.

Energy Trends and Workforce Opportunities Report
Strong growth in the global demand for electric power is projected for the next half-century and beyond. This growth will provide great opportunities for Western Pennsylvania (WPA) companies that are leaders in the chain of industries that generate, transmit and distribute electric power. While great opportunities await these companies, they are all preparing for the impact of workforce and technology development neglect that was dominant in their industries in the 1980s and 1990s. Representatives of these industries have indicated that up to half of their engineering workforce will be eligible for retirement within the next decade.

Edinburgh | May-16 | Energy Storage Technologies for Climate Change Mitigation
This document discusses energy storage technologies and their potential role in mitigating climate change. It outlines an approach to assessing promising technologies which includes literature review, expert elicitation, technology selection, energy system modeling. It finds that cost is a major factor and that lead-acid, redox flow and lithium-ion batteries show promise. By 2020, improvements will likely come from manufacturing advances rather than new chemistries, but longer-term R&D could enable new technologies by 2030 if given sufficient funding and support. Energy storage could significantly aid renewable energy deployment but both R&D investment and policies to support deployment will be needed to realize its potential benefits.

Challenge of change
Este artículo considera algunos de los desafíos que enfrentan los ingenieros y la industria de la tubería como lo experimentamos negocio y el cambio social, y esperamos que cambiar algunas de nuestras prácticas de ingeniería de la tubería.
Estos desafíos van desde el mantenimiento de nuestros estándares de seguridad a las tecnologías que fomentaban para permitir la reducción de costes. Sin embargo, como una industria fracasaremos todos nuestros desafíos técnicos si no mantenemos nuestra mejor personal, y administrar de manera efectiva.
Por lo tanto, este artículo considera algunos de los cambios necesarios en el pueblo y parte de gestión de nuestra industria, antes de desafiar las prácticas actuales de construcción de tuberías básicas.
Developing Resilience Through Diversity in the Welsh Photovoltaic Industry
Far eastern manufacturers have significantly undercut European manufacturers in the production of crystalline silicon solar cells. Some have described this as a ‘Solar Trade War’. This presents a challenging context for the European Industry as crystalline silicon technologies comprise the bulk of the marketplace. In Wales, this situation has been given particular poignancy by the closure of Sharp’s module assembly in Llay, Wrexham – where imported silicon solar cells were assembled into larger modules.
For the UK, the regional context for this industry is emerging. Competition based on labour-cost is impossible so there is a need to discover distinct regional strengths in order to stay competitive. There is an importance to focusing on products which offer a high degree of Gross Value Added. This means focusing on strategic niches and technologies that whilst not perhaps offering the highest conversion efficiency, offer attractive returns through economic competitiveness.
There are a range of other PV technology trajectories – thin-film cells and excitonic cells which occupy a much smaller proportion of the marketplace, however, whilst presently less efficient, they promise the potential of continuous production processes that may enable them to be produced more cost effectively. Furthermore, the technical properties of thin film cells lend themselves to capturing diffuse light, whereas silicon solar cells perform better with direct light. This may be considered a good fit between the technology and the weather of the regional market the technology could potentially serve!
This paper provides an analysis of Wales regional strengths in PV, the interesting diversity of research into PV technologies within Wales with a view to how the nation can retain competitiveness in this arena. The work will build on extensive analysis and involvement already undertaken CSER for the DECC UK Solar Roadmap.
