(National Renewable Energy Lab) Computer scientists at University of Southampton in the U.K. have developed mathematical techniques that encourage accurate predictions of distributed electric power contributions to regional power grids. The work of Valentin Robu and colleagues from Southampton’s Agents, Interaction and Complexity Research Group was presented this week at the Twenty-Sixth Conference . . . → Read More: New Method Devised to Predict Distributed Grid Power  One comment - (Comments are closed)  New products  cleantech, computer science, energy, engineering, Europe, mathematics, physical sciences, software, U.K., university, wind The U.S. Department of Energy says it will fund research projects by 104 small businesses in the U.S. to develop energy-related technologies for market. The grants, made under the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs, total $102 million.
