Overview of 2014 SBIR Phase II Power, Energy Storage, and Storage.

摘要

NASA's Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program focuses on technological innovation by investing in the development of innovative concepts and technologies to help NASA mission directorates address critical research and development needs for Agency programs. This report highlights 21 of the innovative SBIR Phase II projects from 2007 from 2012 that focus on one of NASA Glenn Research Center's six core competencies-Power, Energy Storage, and Conversion. The technologies cover a wide spectrum of applications such as multijunction solar cells, roll-out solar arrays, photovoltaic concentrator blanket assemblies, wide bandgap power semiconductor modules, and indium-gallium nitride high temperature photovoltaic cells. Each article describes an innovation, technical objective, and highlights NASA commercial and industrial applications. This report provides as an opportunity for NASA engineers, researchers, and program managers to learn how NASA SBIR technologies could help their programs and projects, and lead to collaborations and partnerships between small SBIR companies and NASA that would benefit both.
