The increasing energy requirement leading to the depletion of natural energy resources, increasing electricity bills and pollution has created the need for the development of the energy management solutions that can monitor, forecast and control our energy consumptions and requirements. The advancements in the field of electronics and information technology have enabled the development of these devices. These devices are improving the already existing solar energy solutions by providing a way to improve their functional capabilities in terms of energy control and monitoring. The solar energy solution that includes various solar devices and other complete systems provides us the clean power, but lacks in areas associated with the power demand and supply management. The smart solar solutions include services related to smart metering and demand response management.

The rapid industrial development has led to the increased demand for the conventional sources of energy. However, the limited presence of these sources put an extra burden on the demand supply gap. As the population continues to grow, the conventional sources of energy must be used more efficiently, and alternative sources are needed to close the demand and supply gap. Gas to liquids (GTL) technology converts the methane rich gases into more economical and cleaner synthetic fuels. The increase in energy consumption coupled with the environmental regulations related to the clean fuel development, can have a direct impact on global gas to liquids (GTL) market. For the past few years, many big companies have started to develop the synthetic fuels, based on gas to liquids (GTL) technology. According to World Bank, around 150 billion cubic meters of natural gas is flared ever year, which can be converted into useful synthetic fuels using gas to liquids (GTL) technologies.

Landfill Gas (LFG) is obtained as a byproduct of microbiological decomposition of land-filled garbage. Bugs present inside the earth’s crust turns complex organic compounds into carbon dioxide, methane and smaller traces of other compounds. LFG majorly contains 40%-45% carbon dioxide (CO2) and 50%-55% methane (CH4). The balance is made up of hundreds of other compounds such as oxygen and nitrogen. About 0.2% to 0.5% of LFG is composed of complex organic compounds that were never degraded by the bugs. A small % of LFG is composed hydrogen sulfide and other sulfur compounds. The remaining compounds in the gas could be just about anything, depending on the garbage and profile the climate. The exact composition of landfill gas is different to each and every location.

Growing demand for energy efficient equipments and increasingly stringent regulations regarding their use is driving the demand for metering pumps. A metering pump is a device that moves a measured and precise volume of liquid in a provided specific time period. These devices provide an accurate flow rate through adjustments of different flow rates. Hence it is referred to as a metering pump. Although these pumps are mainly used for pumping water, they are often utilized to handle various other fluids such as solutions and chemicals among others. Metering pumps operate in a wide range of discharge pressures and ensure practically constant flow. However, the parameters such as pressure and temperature are key factors to be engineered while making such pumps. The construction of the pumps is simple and involves a pump head linked to the motor. A positive displacement piston provides practically constant flow. Fluid dynamics are a crucial part in the design and engineering of metering pumps. The fluid properties such as viscosity, density and fluidity affect the precision of a metering pump.

High power laser diodes are made by altering the electrical properties of intrinsic semiconductors through introduction of impurities on the surface of crystal wafer. The commercially available general purpose lasers have power output in milliwatts, whereas high power lasers have a power output in watts. High power lasers include diode and non-diode lasers. Diode lasers further include direct diodes, i.e. telecom, consumer, and pump lasers. All lasers excluding direct diodes, i.e. CO2, lamp and diode pumped SSL (solid state lighting), and fiber laser, among others are included under non-diode lasers. The key end-use industries of high power lasers include military and aerospace, automotive, entertainment and display, image recording, research and development (R&D), printing, medical, materials processing and instrumentation, telecom, optical storage and barcode scanning, among others.

Integration of synchrophasor measurement in multi-function recorders and protective relays and increasing investments in modernization of the power grid is expected to boost the global demand for synchrophasors market. Synchrophasor is a device which measures values such as voltage and power from phasor measurement units (PMUs). The measurements are taken at high speed and time-stamped as per the common time reference. It allows synchrophasors from different utilities to be synchronized. This provides a detailed operational overview of the entire interconnection. It helps the grid operators to detect disturbances across the grid.

Global oil storage market is composed of many small independent owners and will experience growth in the coming future. This can be attributed to the demand for oil storage which is rising at the major global supply hubs because of increased trade between countries and is expected to continue with the leading terminals worldwide as the major beneficiaries.

A green data center is a storehouse for the storage, management and distribution of data in which the mechanical, electrical, lighting and computer systems are designed to enhance energy efficiency and reduce environmental impact. It offers the similar benefits and capabilities of a conventional data center but uses less space and energy, and its design and operations have less impact on natural environment, as it operates with renewable or green energy, such as solar or wind power. These advanced green data centers consume least power resources for operation and maintenance for primary computing infrastructure and for supporting electronics resources as well. Electronics resources include backup generators, cooling and lighting resources.

Wi-Fi technology is crucial for various systems such as Machine to Machine (M2M), Hot Spots, Outdoor Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi on the Go and In-Flight Wi-Fi. Outdoor Wi-Fi market is expected to grow at a substantial growth rate throughout the forecast period. Outdoor W-Fi technology is emerging across various verticals such as healthcare, education, public sector and travel and hospitality among others.

Gamification is the technique of using game thinking, game logics and game mechanics in the non-game contexts, this technique is used to solve many problems related to user. Gamification is applied in number of domains and the study on this technique is going on. Learning, timeliness, data quality and user engagement are some of the domains where gamification is used.
