Competition: Cleantech Open 2013 Accelerator

Category: Agriculture- Water- Waste

Abstract Our Team: Yiming Wu (M.Eng. in Manufacturing @ MIT), Operational Consultant @ Applied Materials, inventor of 6 patents. Bril Wang (M.S. in Chemical Engineering @ Stanford U.), Project Management @ Applied Materials, Catalyst Expert. Hang Chen (ongoing Ph.D. candidate in Chemistry @ MIT), specialized in materials and chemical reaction, with 5 publications. Xuan Zhang (M.Eng. in Management @ Duke), Management Consultant at Accenture. We want to make our cost-effective plastic-to-oil solution available to the mass market. We want to disrupt this market with our disruptive technology innovation. So far, there is no player out there could address the mass market, and there is no player out there make this technology available to the mass waste management facilities and metal recycling facilities. We want to be the leader in this space to address the rising issue of huge plastic landfill cost, in terms of millions of dollars for those waste facilities. Instead, we will help them generate millions of profit margin each year.

Dragonfly Systems

Tagline: Module-Level Power Electronics for Utility-Scale Solar Installations

Competition: Cleantech Open 2013 Accelerator

Category: Energy Generation

Abstract: Dragonfly Systems’ new series-parallel hybrid system architecture eliminates mismatch losses by preventing low-performing panels from limiting the output of high-performing panels. The Dragonfly device is a power electronics circuit that is installed on the back of each solar panel. During operation, the device gathers data about its module’s performance. If it determines a bad module elsewhere in the string is limiting its module’s output, it sends its module’s extra power through a parallel conductor so it can be returned to the system.
