Stevens researchers are exploring a wide range of promising technologies and policy options to improve the efficiency and lower the cost of energy produced from the sun, wind, biomass and geothermal resources. Scientists and engineers are working on photovoltaic and hydrogen fuel cell technology to exploit energy from the sun in an effort to reduce greenhouse case emissions. Researchers are also developing renewable fuels from water-splitting devices, biomass and carbon!
Current Projects
Photovoltaic systems
Utilizing energy harvested from the sun to deploy autonomous systems for refueling of hybrid electric vehicles.
Hydrogen
Investigating the use of hydrogen as an energy source for use in transport, heating and power systems as well as its ability to help transition society to a low-carbon economy.
energy transaction in hybrid grids
The ability for prosumers and the power companies to transact energy opens up an entirely new marketplace. We are investigating market dynamics, transmission efficiency as well as security and privacy.
