“Innovative Technologies and Solutions of Energy Supply” is focused on definition, expertise of innovation principles and criteria, protection of intellectual and commercial properties (patents, trade marks, designs, etc.), selection and transfer of innovative technologies into real facilities acc. to the energy supply system needs.

To get knowledge about innovative energy supply technologies at production, supply and users sides. To understand and to define: (1) conformity of innovative energy supply technologies to innovation concepts; (2) environmental impacts of innovative technologies; (3) suitability of innovative energy supply technologies to local and regional energy market; (4) Intellectual properties strategies and application of patents and trade marks.

Literature review for analysis of innovative energy supply technologies. Calculations and models about implementation of energy technologies in enterprises and definition of the impacts to the environment from the technologies. Development of patent application and patent examination for innovative energy supply systems.
