Future Energy Systems
Beyond Today's Energy Infrastructure.
Hydrogen & advanced storage
Store, transport and deliver energy when and where it is needed
Hydrogen is being investigated globally as an energy carrier for applications where direct electrification may be difficult. Prakrithi explores its potential within integrated future energy systems.
Advanced energy storage technologies can support:
- Renewable integration
- Distributed energy
- Backup systems
- Microgrids
- Industrial applications

Space-based solar — Suryan
Energy beyond the atmosphere
Suryan is Prakrithi's space-based solar-energy and connectivity research project, exploring the possibility of collecting solar energy in space and transmitting usable energy to Earth. Prakrithi's role is focused on the engineering ecosystem surrounding future space-energy technologies.
Research areas:
- Solar-energy components
- Space structures
- Power systems
- Thermal considerations
- Materials
- Energy transmission concepts
- Integration with terrestrial energy systems
Earth's energy future may eventually include infrastructure beyond Earth.
