Hybrid

Hybrid supercapacitor to the energy storage and energy conversion market. This new device is assembled in a hybrid configuration, having a highly capacitive electrode paired with an electrostatic one. The product is an energy storage device that operates safely and highly efficiently in tough environments. The unitary cell of this product can be fabricated in different shapes and sizes, and also combined with other cells to fit the myriad of applications in demand.

The liquid is a suspension of nano-molecules, each of which acts like a little battery. In sufficient concentrations, the team says that the liquid can store very large amounts of energy, which can be released as electricity or hydrogen gas.

Snapped on the back of a solar panel, the patent pending ICARUS RT symbiotic system boosts electrical output by harvesting heat from the solar panels, storing it and converting it into electric power while cooling the panels. The Icarus system can be installed on new and existing solar arrays. Plus, the Icarus system can continue to operate after sundown or during cloud shading with heat stored during the day. Why Icarus

This hybrid system produces a peaking power of 850 MWe via a prismatic high-temperature gas reactor coupled to a natural gas-fired facility, enabling rapid load-following. The nuclear system is moderated by graphite and utilizes low-enriched TRISO fuel with a 2-year refueling cycle. An open-system Brayton cycle combustion turbine with a bottoming Rankine steam cycle enables very high thermal efficiencies.
