Sandia team puts power into local grid with supercritical CO2 closed-loop Brayton-cycle turbine

Green Car Congress

Sandia National Laboratories researchers recently delivered electricity produced by a new power-generating system to the Sandia-Kirtland Air Force Base electrical grid. Because so much energy is lost turning steam back into water in the Rankine cycle, at most a third of the power in the steam can be converted into electricity.

Startup’s Analog AI Promises Power for PCs

Cars That Think

Such techniques are competitive, if not yet commercially successful, in smaller-scale systems, chips meant to provide low-power machine learning to devices at the edges of IoT networks. And there will be plenty of competition in the low-power space EnCharge is after. The EN100 card for PCs is a new analog AI chip architecture.
