Epicam’s LAESAR technology for energy storage on power grids
Tuesday 25th April
9.00 – 10.00am UK / 4.00 – 5.00 pm SG
Speaker: Tony Dye BSc MA – Director, Founder, and Inventor of Epicam
Abstract: Epicam’s technology evolution began with the search for a new engine to power third world agriculture. The technology core then became focused on paired interacting rotors capable of delivering compression and expansion in gases. The development into a novel rotary IC engine opened the door to a much wider field of applications with potential to supersede whole ranges of current engine systems. Exposure to the extensive minefield of industrial disruption which would arise from such new entry forced a search for a new area of application essentially free of industrial competition. The novelty of liquid air energy storage provided the ideal context for the introduction to industry of new emergent technology. In the forthcoming era of global energy heavily dependent on renewable sources, LAESAR has the potential to be a leading supplier of storage services to the power industry. It can also extract the greenhouse gases from its atmospheric working fluid and simultaneously provide a substantial contribution to climate repair.
About the speaker: Tony brings 40 years of engine technology development experience to Epicam. This began whilst he was lecturing at the University of Cambridge where he is a Senior Member of Wolfson College. During his career he has consulted to leading motor manufacturers including Saab, Ford, Perkins and Consulting Engineers Ricardo and FEV. The Liquid Air Energy Storage And Regeneration (LAESAR) technology is a development of his earlier invention the Rotary Power Couple Engine. Tony has exceptional engineering skills, combining visionary inventiveness with a thorough grounding in the mechanical, thermodynamic and fluid principles of engines as well as an unusually practical approach.
