0917786ReidIssue: The U.S. National Academies, in collaboration with the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) and Chinese Academy of Engineering (CAE), will conduct a joint study to assist their countries in developing strategies to meet renewable energy goals, to identify prospects and recommend priorities for research and technology cooperation between countries, and to identify related areas, such as storage and systems approaches, ripe for future cooperation. The study is intended to aid the national governments, their relevant agencies/ministries, and private industries in assigning priorities for substantial and meaningful cooperation in developing and utilizing electricity from renewable energy. The study will pursue three separate but related goals: 1) Comparatively assessing resource potential in China and the U.S. for grid-scale electricity generation; 2) Exploring near-term market opportunities for mature technologies; and 3) Recommending priorities for enhanced collaboration, with a focus on cost reduction, improved efficiency and grid connectivity, and storage. Approach: National Academy of Sciences President Ralph J. Cicerone will appoint a committee that will include experts in renewable energy technologies; electricity generation, transmission, and distribution; energy policy; and energy economics. The committee will work with a similarly appointed Chinese committee, to outline the study, organize meetings, and prepare the consensus report. Intellectual Merit: The proposed study will assess the technology risks and tradeoffs for various energy technologies. Much of this technological information will be applicable and adaptable to China, and so an understanding of the geographic, technical, and economic constraints will provide the context for Chinese decision makers to develop appropriate strategies to sustainably meet their energy needs. In some areas, notably biomass utilization, China is among the world leaders, and certain technologies may be applicable in the U.S. context as well. Similarly, China's manufacturing prowess, combined with its growing domestic market, provide opportunities to accelerate progress along the learning curve and reduce costs for renewable energy technologies. Broader Impacts: Having a credible, authoritative, bilateral report highlighting the opportunities for substantial engagement, cooperation, and further investment should catalyze future U.S.-Chinese collaboration among government agencies, industries, and other relevant stakeholders. As part of the study process, the committees will hold several information-gathering meetings which are open to the public. In addition to engaging both countries at an institutional level, this study will engage relevant research universities, government laboratories and agencies, and industries in their public meetings. This will serve several purposes: 1) it will inform the committee about ongoing and planned activities being carried out in each country, 2) it will help the committee develop a report that speaks to the particular informational needs of these diverse stakeholders, and 3) it will facilitate connections between these stakeholders and some of the leading experts in various aspects of renewable energy. Following its completion, the report will be translated into Chinese and made publicly available electronically and in print form. A separately published Executive Summary, geared towards decision makers, will be widely disseminated in both countries. The committees will also consider holding a public event to formally release the reports and discuss its main findings and recommendations. This project is co-funded by the Energy for Sustainability (CBET); Power, Controls and Adaptive Networks (ECCS); and NanoManufacturing (CMMI) programs from the Engineering Directorate and the Synthesis (CHEM) program from the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Directorate.

0917786 Reid发布：美国国家科学院将与中国科学院和中国工程院合作开展一项联合研究，以协助各自国家制定实现可再生能源目标的战略，确定国家间研究和技术合作的前景和建议优先事项，并确定未来合作的相关领域，如储存和系统方法。该研究旨在帮助各国政府、其相关机构/部委和私营企业确定优先事项，以便在开发和利用可再生能源发电方面开展实质性和有意义的合作。该研究将追求三个独立但相关的目标：1）比较评估中国和美国电网规模发电的资源潜力; 2）探索成熟技术的近期市场机会; 3）建议加强合作的优先事项，重点是降低成本，提高效率和电网连接以及存储。方法：美国国家科学院院长拉尔夫·J·西塞罗内将任命一个委员会，成员包括可再生能源技术、发电、输电和配电、能源政策和能源经济学方面的专家。该委员会将与一个类似任命的中国委员会合作，概述研究，组织会议，并准备共识报告。知识价值：拟议的研究将评估各种能源技术的技术风险和权衡。这些技术信息中的大部分将适用于中国，因此，对地理、技术和经济限制的理解将为中国决策者制定适当的战略以可持续地满足其能源需求提供背景。在某些领域，特别是生物质利用方面，中国处于世界领先地位，某些技术可能也适用于美国。同样，中国的制造业实力，加上不断增长的国内市场，为沿着学习曲线加快进展和降低可再生能源技术的成本提供了机会。更广泛的影响：有一份可信、权威的双边报告，强调实质性接触、合作和进一步投资的机会，应该能促进未来的美国-中国政府机构、行业和其他相关利益相关者之间的合作。作为研究进程的一部分，各委员会将举行几次向公众开放的信息收集会议。除了在机构层面上与两国接触外，这项研究还将邀请相关的研究型大学、政府实验室和机构以及工业界参加公开会议。这将有几个目的：1）它将向委员会通报每个国家正在进行的和计划中的活动，2）它将帮助委员会制定一份报告，说明这些不同利益相关者的特殊信息需求，以及3）它将促进这些利益相关者与可再生能源各个方面的一些领先专家之间的联系。报告完成后，将译成中文，并以电子和印刷形式向公众提供。将在这两个国家广泛分发一份单独出版的面向决策者的执行摘要。委员会亦会考虑举办公开活动，正式公布报告，并讨论主要的调查结果和建议。 该项目由能源可持续发展（CBET）;电力，控制和自适应网络（ECCS）;和纳米制造（CMMI）计划从工程理事会和综合（CHEM）计划从数学和物理科学理事会共同资助。
