A new heat engine with no moving parts is as efficient as a steam turbine

A thermophotovoltaic (TPV) cell (size 1 cm x 1 cm) mounted on a heat sink designed to measure the TPV cell efficiency. To measure the efficiency, the cell is exposed to an emitter and simultaneous measurements of electric power and heat flow through the device are taken.

Engineers enlist AI to help scale up advanced solar cell manufacturing

The optimized production of perovskite solar cells could be sped up thanks to a new machine learning system.

New England renewables + Canadian hydropower

MIT Energy Initiative

“Hydropower is a more-than-hundred-year-old technology, and plants are already built up north,” says Emil Dimanchev SM ’18. “We might not need to build something new. We might just need to use those plants differently or to a greater extent.”

MIT Energy Conference focuses on climate’s toughest challenges

At the 2022 MIT Energy Conference, the grand prize of $100,000 was awarded to a team called Ultropia, which is developing a combined clothes washer and drier that uses ultrasound instead of water for its cleaning.

How to clean solar panels without water

Dust that accumulates on solar panels is a major problem, but washing the panels uses huge amounts of water. MIT engineers have now developed a waterless cleaning method to remove dust on solar installations in water-limited regions, improving overall efficiency.

New power sources

In the mid-1990s, a few energy activists in Massachusetts had a vision: What if consumers had choice about the energy they consumed? Instead of being force-fed electricity sources selected by a utility company, what if cities, towns, and groups of individuals could purchase power that was cleaner and cheaper?

Solar-powered system offers a route to inexpensive desalination

MIT researchers have developed a solar-powered desalination system that is more efficient and less expensive than previous methods. In this schematic, a confined water layer above the floating thermal insulation enables the simultaneous thermal localization and salt rejection.

MIT Energy Initiative launches the Future Energy Systems Center

MIT Energy Initiative

MITEI’s Future Energy Systems Center examines the accelerating energy transition as emerging technology and policy, demographic trends, and economics reshape the landscape of energy supply and demand.
