He developed a unique perspective on the architecture of the energy system by identifying its components: [services] - [service technologies] - [currencies] - [transformer technologies] - [sources] His work examines the evolution of energy systems within this architecture with a particular focus on the past century and the coming 50 years. This pattern analysis identifies technology "barriers" and "attractors" since they represent business opportunities. It is also useful for identifying probable "hydrogen age" transition paths. Integrated Source-to Currency Transformer Technologies This work is applicable to energy intensive industries, for example, those producing energy currencies or manufacturing commodities. The generic benefits of integration include: Improved resilience to input/output interruption Improved resource utilization Substantial environmental benefits Efficiency gains in energy and exergy Low Carbon-Fueled Service Technologies Dr. Scott's research in this area focuses on techno-economic analysis and optimization of such service technologies as transportation. Turnkey systems including urban fleets, submersibles, utility vehicles, and remote community energy systems have shown special promise. The impact of such emerging technologies as fuel cells and advanced liquefiers is also incorporated to identify the attractors and barriers. Exergy Analysis The key thermodynamic characteristic of the analyses is exergy. Dr. Scott is engaged I the development and application of second-law methodologies to using exergy in studying both component processes and integrated systems. Dr. Scott is on the editorial board of the International Journal of Hydrogen Energy, serves as an advisor to industry and governments, and speaks widely on energy systems and services and on the environment.
