Decentralized energy systems for clean electricity access

Decentralized Channel Access for Wireless Control Systems

We consider a wireless control architecture where multiple sensors independently and randomly access a shared wireless medium to communicate with corresponding actuators, and we develop a decentralized channel access mechanism. Each sensor iteratively adapts the rate at which it accesses the medium in order to mitigate the effect of packet collisions from simultaneously transmitting sensors on ...

Decentralized Energy from Waste Systems

In the last five years or so, biofuels have been given notable consideration worldwide as an alternative to fossil fuels, due to their potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by partial replacement of oil as a transport fuel. The production of biofuels using a sustainable approach, should consider local production of biofuels, obtained from local feedstocks and adapted to the socio-economi...

Decentralized Access Control in Networked File Systems

The Internet enables global sharing of data across organizational boundaries. Traditional access control mechanisms are intended for one or a small number of machines under common administrative control, and rely on maintaining a centralized database of user identities. They fail to scale to a large user base distributed across multiple organizations. This survey provides a taxonomy of decentra...

Clean Energy Technologies A Preliminary Inventory of the Potential for Electricity Generation

BLACKLIGHT POWER TECHNOLOGY A New Clean Energy Source with the Potential for Direct Conversion to Electricity

BlackLight Power, Inc. (the Company), a Delaware corporation based in its 53,000 sq. ft. headquarters in Cranbury, New Jersey, believes it has developed a new hydrogen chemical process that generates power, plasma (a hot ionized glowing gas), and a vast class of new compositions of matter. Specifically, the Company has designed and tested a new proprietary energy-producing chemical process. The...
