Research and Development

Research and development makes up a considerable part of CTI's business model with renewable energy being at the forefront of our endeavors.

Past Projects

• Developing for the CSIRO (Commonwealth Scientific & Industrial Research Organisation) a thermal storage system utilizing molten salt (Sodium Chloride) as the storage medium.
• Developing for ACARP (Australian Coal Association Research Program) a radar based collision avoidance system for mine haul trucks.
• Developing for ACARP a system for the reduction of diesel particulates using triple chamber acoustic agglomeration.
• Mobile satellite tracking device.
• Developing for use on Komatsu mine haul trucks a replacement for the GE1200 Auxiliary Inverter control board along with other improvements to the Auxiliary Blower system.
• Developing a new solar concentrator that is economical to produce and transport without compromising on the effectiveness of operation. (See our Renewable Energy page).
• Develop the automation for a fully automated reverse osmosis water treatment system.

Current Projects

• Solar driven Hydrogen storage and release.
• Solar driven Hydrogen production from biomass.
• Solar thermal storage and combined heat and electrical generation.
• Replacement IGBT gate driver module for use on Komatsu mine haul trucks and other diesel electric hybrid vehicles utilising IGBT modules.
