| My research expertise is in development of materials and packaging technologies for integration of high-power density electronics, such as power electronics converters, rf amplifiers, and high-power optoelectronics. The material systems I developed include (1) nanosilver pastes for high-temperature, high-thermal conductivity, and high-reliability bonding of semiconductor chips and (2) soft magnetic materials for low-temperature, pressure-less processing of magnetic components used in high-frequency applications. The packaging technologies I developed have led to fabrication of three-dimensional, low-profile, double-side cooled, and high-temperature power electronics modules. I have also done extensive analyses and measurements on thermal performance and reliability of high-power density electronics systems. One of my most recent research developments is in additive manufacturing or three-D printing of magnetic components, with either powdered or ferrite core, in power electronics systems.
The above-mentioned research contributions come mainly from my research activities in the Center for Power Electronics Systems (CPES) at Virginia Tech. I am a professor jointly appointed between the Bradley Department of ECE and the Department of MSE at Virginia Tech. I have a double-major BS degree in Physics and MSE from Carnegie-Mellon University and Ph.D. in Applied Physics/Materials Science from Harvard University. I have published over 100 peer-reviewed journal articles and over 100 papers in conference proceedings. In 1995, I won a Virginia Tech Sporn award for excellence in teaching of engineering subjects and a National Science Foundation CAREER award. The nanoscale silver paste, which my graduate students and I invented, for low-temperature joining of semiconductor chips was recognized with an R&D 100 award in 2007. |

| GasTechno Energy & Fuels is pioneering a single-step non-catalytic gas to liquid process which can convert biomethane into methanol as an energy carrier. Methanol has numerous handling advantages, highest ratio of hydrogen to carbon, biodegradeable liquid, non-caustic feedstock chemical, compatible with direct methanol fuel cells, hydrogen reformers and SOFC. The first commercial Mini-GTL(R) plant has recently been deployed in central Michigan and is open to collaboration for
* integrated bio-refineries (using municipal waste, biodigestors, or water treatment);
* closed loop combined solar+DMFC power;
* inductive DMFC power applications, especially low-voltage DC field devices;
* novel business models.
Unlike competing solutions, the design philosophy is simple hardware, sophisticated software with the smallest gas to liquid plant being a 40' container and even a portable trailer version. We can provide
* test proving ground - the test facility currently has access to a local pipeline network connected to dairy farms and surrounded by corn fields, a potential proving ground for distributed biogas
* storage facility to hold surplus biogas for seasonal fluctuations (conditional on DEQ permitting)
* chemical engineering expertise and network of energy experts |

| Massive development in transportation sectors has accelerated fossil fuel energy consumption, and greenhouse gas emissions from vehicles account for nearly 30% of global warming. We need clean energy for transportation sectors to meet their energy demand and avoid global warming. In this proposal, a wind energy system will be developed by integrating advanced technological and mathematical aspects to obtain a potential solution for the total energy demand of transportation sectors. Detailed analysis of the theoretical wind energy systems to be developed by a series of mathematical equations that to be introduced for use in transportations sectors to naturally meet its total energy demand. To better explain this technology and its application in transportation sectors, and taking the practical scale and components into consideration, a sample experimental model of a car to be used as an experimental tool. It is assumed that experimental analysis of the car shall confirm that a turbine can be a promising tool to utilize wind energy to generate electricity from self-renewing resources to power the car which is clean and globally abundant. This proposed wind energy system could be an innovative in energy science that can enable vehicles that produce energy from the wind when the vehicle is in motion which will be meeting 100% of the vehicle’s energy demand. |

In addition to its space-related work on the VASIMR® electric in-space propulsion engine, the product of more than 25 years of NASA and Department of Energy (DoE) R&D in plasma physics and space propulsion technology, Ad Astra is using its broad space technology portfolio to develop integrated “turn-key” solutions of distributed, carbon-free renewable energy systems, relevant to many niche applications worldwide. One of these, involves the hydrogen energy cycle: production from intermittent renewables (wind and solar), storage and use in hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs), as well as stationary storage for electrical generation. Ad Astra is developing a small hydrogen demonstration “ecosystem” at its wholly owned subsidiary, Ad Astra Servicios Energéticos y Ambientales (AASEA) in northwestern Costa Rica. The integrated system includes: a 76 kW solar farm (in operation,) a 5 kW wind turbine (operational, May, 2016), a hydrogen production (through water electrolysis) and storage facility (in operation), a hydrogen dispenser and a FCEV urban bus (in development) slated to service the 25 km route from Costa Rica’s city of Liberia to the Liberia International Airport (LIR). The system involves a public-private partnership with the Government of Costa Rica and other private companies in the US, Canada, Europe and Costa Rica. Full operation of the ecosystem is expected in the first half of 2017. The Central American region offers a wide variety of renewable energy sources that have not been completely developed, while it still uses significant amounts of fossil fuels in the electrical and transportation sectors. Ad Astra's main objective is to provide sustainable solutions that enhance the development of renewable energy, carbon-free markets in the region and elsewhere. Ad Astra also develops medium-size, low-cost wind power solutions, including design, manufacturing, assembly, integration, installation and maintenance, optimized for the conditions and wind patterns at the customer's location. Ad Astra’s skill set in space technology and electric in-space propulsion includes advanced materials, cryogenics and superconductivity, all of which are applicable and relevant to advanced carbon-free energy conversion and storage systems. |

| Hello, my name is Ty. I am an US Army veteran, hard working, Alaskan family man. I felt compelled to apply in the hopes we may all benefit from working together, in this study which is of great concern to much of my community. There are many people here in Talkeetna, Alaska with overwhelming knowledge and experience in all of your area of expertise column. Much of the population live off grid yet have more reliable, cheaper service, majority of us have wells and septic systems. People are not concerned as much with indoor plumbing. So maybe half don't (by choice) have running water and use out houses. The simple fact is we choose this life, all while having college degrees some even Doctorates and Masters. We build and help our neighbors which here can be over 30 miles away. Combined we are a United solution to community problems. We have been trying to move away from gas, diesel, and propane to hydrogen cell production and sustainable green resources, but lack the capital, and the State's current direction is no help fueling hostility towards greener community programs. We have ideas for water, wave, solar, geothermal, biomass, gravity, and all kinds of electricity. The main road blocks for most systems are location is there a resource to use, and the cost of the up date many times is well beyond the owners means. We insist on keeping negative or useless byproducts to a minimum and could need to be properly disposed of. Some folks still use coal and refuse to contain the ash spreading it on their land or in the road contaminating passersby The innovation and inspiration is here and plenty of eager people to try anything to change the path currently traveled. With little capital and the proper land,system(s) pairing we can not only make off grid housing but on grid production the tools are there. If large areas implemented such tools please take into account hard working power company employees and their families. Our children and grandchildren deserve clean free energy, but we must move together not appart. Thank you so much for this opportunity from all of rural Alaska embrace the family, community, and nature. |
