Reliable and affordable energy enables the products and services that enrich and extend life. Energy powers many of the devices that deliver our quality of life from computers, transportation, communications, medical equipment, homes and commercial infrastructure and industry.
Seeking technologies that enable energy to be produced day and night and strengthen the electricity grid. These includes smart technologies that can help predict accurately when and where electricity is required, as well as renewable generation and battery storage.
Focus areas
Renewables
Renewables are sources of clean and increasingly competitive energy generation systems to better use the Earth’s resources. Seeking clean technologies from solar to geothermal energy, bioenergy or ocean energy or using existing compounds (such as hydrogen) to produce heat or electricity.
Distributed Energy & Grid Storage
Electrical generation and storage performed by a variety of small, grid-connected or distribution system connected devices as well as the ICT systems to support these networks.
Energy Storage and Management
Seeking new technology that diversifies the grid with focus on battery technology as well as two-way power flows from commercial or domestic devices, and the energy management systems to insure power sourcing is adequate, cost effective and stable.
Asset Management
Physical and technology based systems that allow for the systematic process of profiling and evaluating assets (Distributed Energy Resource or Traditional grid model) to achieve the highest system performance at the lowest maintenance cost, and place that performance in the context of the business, tariff and load. Technology that delivers real-time performance management of multiple assets also including overall facility electrical load and cost performance.
Some of our focus technologies include:
- Photovoltaics, wind, geothermal, hydrogen
- New battery technology
- Turbine technology
- Management Software Platforms
- EV Charging Technology
