Working Groups

Serves as a forum for the interchange of both technical and programmatic information, as well as for networking and sharing new ideas in the areas of electrochemical energy storage and conversion.

Covers research and development programs in power conditioning systems (PCS) for generation, storage, transmission and distribution, pulse power, motors, generators, and actuators.  The systems aspect of the group focuses on complete electric power/energy systems from source to point-of-use including architectures, components, and control systems.

Focus is on the conversion of energy from any source to electrical, mechanical, hydraulic, or pneumatic power.

Encompasses all aspects of energy collection and conversion technology and the use of these technologies in a wide range of applications, from portable power, to off-grid power stations, to grid-connected systems.  Technology Focus Areas Solar energy conversion (in space and on land) Thermal energy conversion Aeromechanical and hydro power Kinetic energy harvesting Biomass conversion Marine (ocean waves, tides, currents, riverine, thermal, salinity)
