Universal Power Core (UPC): A Modular Intelligent Energy Management Platform

The Universal Power Core (UPC) is a conceptual modular energy management platform designed to provide a standardized architecture for integrating, monitoring, distributing, and controlling electrical power across a wide variety of mobile, industrial, research, and emergency-response systems. Rather than serving as a single battery or power source,

Lepa Wiran AI: Satellite-Powered Predictive Risk Forecasting for Electric Power Distribution Networks

Electric utility companies in developing regions lose millions of dollars due to unplanned power outages. Particularly, in Honduras only, energy losses reach 38%, which are among the highest in Central America, with unscheduled outages accounting for nearly 30% of the total offline time. Currently, in Honduras and neighboring regions the outages are addressed in a reactive manner,

SolarFoil: Next-Generation Scalable Vehicle-Integrated / Deployable Thin-Film Photovoltaics Inspired by Space Technology

Conventional Electric Vehicles (EVs) rely entirely on stationary grid charging, leaving drivers vulnerable to range anxiety, phantom battery drain while parked and an insufficient charging station-to-EV ratio, especially in many emerging and developing countries (ratio of 1:10 is recommended by IEA). Current Vehicle-Integrated Photovoltaics (VIPV) rely on rigid, heavy silicon panels. These components ruin vehicle aerodynamics,

FlowSpark: Modular Micro-Hydro Cartridge for Powering Remote Irrigation Sensors

A significant fraction of farm-deployed IoT sensors — soil moisture probes, flow meters, canal-level monitors — sit in locations where solar power fails: buried supply lines, shaded orchard rows, greenhouse interiors, and covered concrete canals. Field studies on precision-ag deployments report sensor downtime rates of 15–30% in shaded or enclosed installations,

Towed DC Electrical System for Zero-emission Agricultural Machinery

This entry presents a Towed DC Electrical System (TDES) that enables fully electrified agricultural machinery to achieve zero on-site emissions and virtually unlimited operating duration. Traditional diesel machinery emits large amounts of CO₂, while battery-electric and hybrid solutions suffer from limited range, long charging times, or residual emissions.

DIVVCRN Air: Distributed Intelligent Drone-to-Drone Emergency Power Relay Network

DIVVCRN-Air is a distributed energy sharing architecture that enables autonomous drone swarms to cooperatively prevent battery related losses by intelligently redistributing electrical energy among drones. Unlike conventional drone operations, where each aircraft functions as an isolated energy system and must immediately return to base or perform an emergency landing when its battery becomes critically low,
