Kansas State University, Northeastern University, and the Missouri University of Science and Technology plan to form a new Industry University Cooperative Research Center (IUCRC), called Center for On-the-Move Energy Technologies (COMET). The primary goal of COMET is to create a framework for engineers, scientists, and graduate students to find innovative solutions for the challenges that on-the-move industries face. On-the-move energy systems include a broad range of applications from small portable electronic devices to air, sea, and ground transportation systems, which impact all aspects of modern life. Despite their wide range of power ratings and diverse applications, on-the-move energy systems share a number of challenging design and technical requirements. The long-term impact of this center is to make on-the-move energy systems more efficient, more reliable, and more affordable. Consequently, it promotes a safer and cleaner environment. Also, it gives the U.S. a technological and economical competitive advantage in the global market. The proposed research activities are strongly intertwined with comprehensive educational activities which will expose students at all levels to discovery-based and industry-focused skills. On-the-move systems and devices typically operate off the grid with minimal (e.g. charging, etc.) interaction with the grid. COMET's projects are designed to solve fundamental challenges and real-world engineering problems that will advance and create new technologies for the relevant industries. COMET's main focus areas are (1) mobility and agility advancement, (2) fault-tolerance and reliability improvement, (3) prolonging operational time, and (4) power density enhancement. To achieve these goals, six critical approaches are considered as (i) alternative materials, (ii) alternative energy harvesting, (iii) contactless charging, (iv) smart designs for harsh environment, (v) real-time condition monitoring, and (vi) real-time corrective actions. The proposed center advances the research and design methodologies for these energy systems while taking into consideration specific challenges of each application. The team of researchers at Missouri S&T has research experience in energy and power management for on-the-move systems. Also, they have considerable expertise in increasing the power density of such systems while maintain their cost competitive.

堪萨斯州立大学、东北大学和密苏里科技大学计划组建一个新的工业大学合作研究中心（IUCRC），称为移动能源技术中心（COMET）。 COMET 的主要目标是为工程师、科学家和研究生创建一个框架，为移动行业面临的挑战找到创新解决方案。 移动能源系统包括从小型便携式电子设备到空中、海上和地面交通系统的广泛应用，影响着现代生活的各个方面。 尽管额定功率范围广泛且应用多样，但移动能源系统仍面临许多具有挑战性的设计和技术要求。该中心的长期影响是使移动能源系统更高效、更可靠、更便宜。 因此，它促进了更安全、更清洁的环境。 此外，它还赋予美国在全球市场上的技术和经济竞争优势。 拟议的研究活动与综合教育活动密切相关，这将使各个级别的学生接触到基于发现和以行业为中心的技能。 移动系统和设备通常脱离电网运行，与电网的交互最少（例如充电等）。 COMET 的项目旨在解决基本挑战和现实世界的工程问题，从而推动和创造相关行业的新技术。 COMET 的主要关注领域是 (1) 移动性和敏捷性进步，(2) 容错性和可靠性改进，(3) 延长运行时间，以及 (4) 功率密度增强。 为了实现这些目标，需要考虑六种关键方法：（i）替代材料，（ii）替代能源收集，（iii）非接触式充电，（iv）针对恶劣环境的智能设计，（v）实时状态监测，以及（vi）实时纠正措施。拟议的中心推进这些能源系统的研究和设计方法，同时考虑到每个应用的具体挑战。 密苏里科技大学的研究团队在移动系统的能源和电源管理方面拥有研究经验。 此外，他们在提高此类系统的功率密度同时保持成本竞争力方面拥有丰富的专业知识。
