Scientists, engineers and professors from the United States and India recently met to find ways to solve the critical power and energy challenges faced by both nations.
The three-day U.S.-India Bilateral Power and Energy Workshop, Sept. 29 – Oct. 1, provided a forum to identify collaborative research and development opportunities regarding power sources, power storage, co-generation, and power management equipment and systems.
During the workshop, attendees participated in an overview of U.S. and India power and energy imperatives, panel discussions, and technical and poster sessions on fuel cells, alternate energy sources and energy technology initiatives.
Workshop participants identified fuel-cell technology, collaborative testing of Soldier power systems, hybrid supercapacitors and portable solar photovoltaics as potential areas for future collaboration and project agreements.
