Our Work
Here are some of the challenges that the TTS has helped SMEs, start-ups and established industry players overcome.
POWER FUELS TECHNOLOGY
Powerblocks
Powerblocks are an Australian start-up developing configurable energy storage blocks like Lego blocks using smart technology and construction materials. Here, the TTS:
Performed a technical review of a patent for the client’s novel battery product and performed a rudimentary technical and safety risk assessment of this technology.
Provided technical guidance on which core features of the product should be focused on during pitching and marketing.
Proposed a new product development pathway based on the core potential advantages of this technology.
Identified new potential commercial opportunities that had not yet been considered by the client.
ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONICS
Watergate Pty Ltd
Watergate Pty Ltd are a start-up who have developed a novel device for converting humidity in air into electrical energy. Here, the TTS:
Performed an accurate characterisation of the Watergate product prototype and investigated the performance of this device.
Instructed on changes to the device test procedure to improve test repeatability and robustness.
ENERGY MANAGEMENT
Continuant
Continuant, an Australian start-up, have developed unique hybrid control algorithms and hardware to provide demand response, frequency response and load flexibility capability for existing residential, commercial, and industrial equipment. Here, the TTS:
Performed initial modelling to establish the performance of a novel demand-side management control system technology during best-, nominal- and worst-case conditions. This included defining important assumptions that can now be validated as the client moves up the Technology Readiness Level and Commercial Readiness Index.
Conducted an initial performance comparison of the client’s product and an on-the-market technology to help evaluate the unique value proposition of the client’s technology.
