A team of researchers from the Masdar Institute of Science and Technology and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed a novel, low-cost solar thermal energy conversion system that can easily generate steam from sunlight. The solar conversion system can help make technologies that rely on steam, like seawater desalination, wastewater treatment, residential water heating, medical tool sterilization and power generation, more efficient and affordable.
The Masdar Institute of Science and Technology today announced the launch of a real-time dust forecasting system that provides accurate, up-to-date dust information for the Middle East region. The web-based forecasting system is available online at http://atlas.masdar.ac.ae/forecast/.
The unique and valuable properties of graphene – a wonder material noted for its strength and electrical conductivity – are being leveraged by Masdar Institute researchers to help advance technologies of relevance to strategic local industries like oil and gas and desalination.
While recent advancements in solar cell technologies have significantly improved their sunlight-to-energy conversion efficiencies, without continued advancements in the actual panel technology, photovoltaic (PV) systems will never realize their maximum potential.
The panoramic glass façades of modern day high-rises and office buildings may be aesthetically pleasing, but they can come at a cost. The visible light they let in, accompanied by infrared light that can cause buildings’ temperatures to rise, can lead to increased air-conditioning use and higher levels of energy consumption, especially in hot, desert climates like the UAE.
Researchers have discovered a novel way to significantly increase the amount of sunlight that a solar absorber can convert into heat. By converting more of the solar energy that reaches the Earth’s surface into heat in a low-cost way, the solar absorber can help make sustainable technologies that rely on solar heat, like solar thermal technologies, more efficient and affordable.
The Masdar Institute of Science and Technology, an independent, research-driven graduate-level university focused on advanced energy and sustainable technologies, today announced that its researchers have successfully demonstrated that desert sand from the UAE could be used in concentrated solar power (CSP) facilities to store thermal energy up to 1000°C.
The Masdar Institute of Science and Technology announced the launch of its new Masdar Institute Solar Platform (MISP).
