What Should We Do on "Innovation?"
Tom Esselman
Case alumnus, energy consultant and Harvard University instructor
Great Lakes Institute for Energy Innovation Seminar
Case Western Reserve University
Cleveland, Ohio
May 2008
Summary:
The “Innovation” part of our Institute for Energy Innovation can easily be taken for granted. Should we take “innovation” for granted or should we work on it and teach it? Esselman presents what he has been doing at Harvard and what he has seen others do on “Innovation in Science and Engineering.” This leads to a discussion of options that Case Western Reserve has as it highlights “Energy Innovation.”
Portable Solid Oxide Fuel Cells: Technology, Manufacture, Commercialization
John Halloran
Department of Materials Science and Engineering
University of Michigan
DMSE Colloquia
411 White Building
Case Western Reserve University
Cleveland, Ohio
April 2008
Abstract:
Halloran discusses the manufacturing of small anode supported tubes by the novel method of microfabrication by co-extrusion, and their use in Adaptive Materials Incorporated's portable Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) systems in the power range of 20-250W. Emphasis is on the development from the university laboratory to near-commercial production.
Say Yes! to Green Jobs in Cleveland: Rally to Support Wind Turbines
Joint 10,000 little ideas to believe in Cleveland and rally for green manufacturing jobs in Northeast Ohio.
Cleveland, Ohio
April 2008
Summary
Celebrate Earth Day by revitalizing communities across the region; join thousands of others and show your support to create green manufacturing jobs in Northeast Ohio by telling your friends and neighbors about this petition. Petition signatures were collected and sent to Columbus to push renewal energy legislation in Ohio.
Wind Energy: A Resource for the Future?
Moderator: Iwan Alexander, a professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering at Case Western Reserve University and director of the Great Lakes Institute for Energy Innovation
Panelists: David H. Matthiesen, associate professor of materials science and engineering at Case Western Reserve; Louis L. McMahon, a partner in environmental law at Thompson Hine LLP; Richard T. Stuebi, BP Fellow for Energy and Environmental Advancement at The Cleveland Foundation; and Richard Zachariason, CEO of Juwi Wind US Corp.
Research ShowCASE
Case Western Reserve Univerity
Cleveland, Ohio
April 2008
Abstract:
The world is addicted to electrical power, and the demand is increasing. Annual global generation of electrical energy was 16,424 billion kilowatt-hours in 2004; it's predicted to increase to 30,364 billion kilowatt-hours by 2030. It is obvious to researchers and the general public that problems will continue to arise in the United States and globally if energy demands go unmet.
Harnessing the wind is one practical solution to this problem. Researchers suggest that there is great potential in generating electrical energy from the wind on offshore sites on the Atlantic coast and on the Great Lakes. Although wind energy is plentiful, clean, efficient, sustainable and available, the question of how to develop its potential to meet society's future needs remains.
Creating Energy Alternatives: The Great Lakes Institute for Energy Innovation
Norman C. Tien
Dean and Nord Professor of Engineering
Case School of Engineering
Case Western Reserve University
Cuyahoga County League of Women Voters First Thursday Forum
April 2008
Trinity Commons Trinity Cathedral
2230 Euclid Ave.
Cleveland, Ohio
Summary:
Tien is the dean and Nord Professor of Engineering at Case Western Reserve University's Case School of Engineering, and the Ohio Eminent Scholar in Condensed Matter Physics. The newly founded Great Lakes Institute for Energy Innovation is not only a research facility, but also a vehicle to drive cultural change at Case by promoting multi-disciplinary, collaborative, large-scale research. Another aspect of the Institute is developing outreach programs in science, technology, engineering and math for Cleveland-area primary and secondary students and teachers. According to Dr. Tien, “The greatest challenges and opportunities for engineers and scientists of the 21st century likely will focus on the generation, transportation, utilization and storage of energy.”
Impact of Materials Innovations on Rechargeable Battery Technology for the Coming Electric Vehicle Revolution
Yet-Ming Chiang
Kyocera Professor, Department of Materials Science and Engineering
Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Cambridge, MA 02139
DMSE Colloquia, Spring 2008
Abstract #372
April 2008, 411 White Building
Abstract:
Rechargeable lithium batteries are now widely considered to be a critical and enabling technology for the widespread implementation of electrified vehicles ranging from hybrid electric (HEVs) to plug-in hybrid electric (PHEVs) to all-electric vehicles (EVs). Materials advances driven by clear technological and societal needs are responsible for the rapid evolution from batteries for portable electronics to those with the power, safety, life, and cost to satisfy large systems. This talk will give a status report on real-world applications, and then focus on the underlying materials science, in which the understanding of phase stability and transformations under large electrochemical driving forces has been the key to improving performance.
