标题：2014年加州可再生能源和存储技术会议非技术描述2014年加州可再生能源和存储技术（CREST）会议将于2014年8月15日在北岭加州州立大学校园举行，预计将汇集可再生能源和先进能源存储技术领域的研究人员、工程师、顾问和政策制定者。参加这次会议的与会者将分享对未来更绿色的加州和国家的想法和愿景。这个一年一度的会议始于2012年，它使大学、工业、研发实验室和政府机构之间的信息和思想交流成为可能，以推动可再生能源技术走向未来。为期一天的会议通常包括邀请演讲、论文和海报展示、展览、研讨会和参观CSUN可再生能源设施，从而为学术界、政府和工业界之间的交流和合作提供了一个独特的机会。2014年加州可再生能源和存储技术（CREST）会议将于2014年8月15日在加州州立大学北岭校区举行，预计将汇集可再生能源和先进能源存储技术领域的研究人员、工程师、顾问和政策制定者。加州是美国第三大州，也是人口最多的州，其巨大的能源需求必须得到充分解决，以尽量减少对空气质量的影响和对气候变化的潜在影响。去加利福尼亚？为了实现美国的清洁能源目标，可再生能源发电、分配和储存系统需要在现有基础设施的基础上进行设计，以便能够为消费者提供可持续和可靠的电力。这些系统包括太阳能光伏、分布式风能、燃料电池、电动汽车等，以及绿色建筑设计、高效家用电器、智能测量设备和传感器。为了提高整个电网的可靠性、安全性和效率，需要对电网中的能源需求进行智能控制。2014年CREST会议将包括来自工业界、学术界和国家实验室的领先专家在可持续能源这些关键领域的先进研究活动的介绍和传播。虽然这是一个地区性会议，但加州在采用可再生能源方面处于领先地位，因此这次会议的结果可能会对全国产生影响。本次会议将包括来自CSUN的本科生和研究生的积极参与，CSUN被认证为西班牙裔服务机构，以及亚裔美国原住民美国太平洋岛民服务机构（AANAPISI）。邀请也将扩大到当地社区大学的科学教师和学生，以最大限度地参与和推广。

Principal Investigator: Abhijit MukherjeeProposal No: 1445505Title: California Renewable Energy and Storage Technology Conference 2014Nontechnical DescriptionThe California Renewable Energy and Storage Technology (CREST) Conference 2014, to be held at the campus of California State University, Northridge on August 15, 2014, is envisioned to bring together researchers, engineers, consultants and policy-makers in the field of Renewable Energy and Advanced Energy Storage Technology. The attendees participating in this conference will share ideas and visions of the future for a greener California and the nation. This annual conference, started in 2012, has enabled exchange of information and ideas among universities, industries, research and development laboratories and government agencies to propel renewable energy technology into the future. The one day conference typically consists of invited talks, paper and poster presentations, exhibits, workshops and tour of CSUN renewable energy facilities, thus providing a unique opportunity for communication and collaboration between academia, government and industry.Technical DescriptionThe California Renewable Energy and Storage Technology (CREST) Conference 2014, to be held at the campus of California State University, Northridge on August 15, 2014, is envisioned to bring together researchers, engineers, consultants and policy-makers in the field of Renewable Energy and Advanced Energy Storage Technology. California, the third largest and the most populous state in the US, has significant energy needs that must be addressed adequately in order to minimize impact on air quality the potential for climate change. To meet California?s clean energy goals, renewable energy generation, distribution and storage systems need to be designed based on existing infrastructure that will be able to provide sustainable and reliable power to the consumers. These systems include solar photovoltaic, distributed wind, fuel cells, electric vehicles, etc. as well as design of green buildings, efficient home appliances, smart measurement devices, and sensors. Smart control of energy demand in an electric network is needed to enhance system reliability, security and efficiency of the overall electric network. The CREST Conference 2014 will include presentation and dissemination of advanced research activities in these critical areas of sustainable energy from leading experts in the industry, academia and national labs. Although this is a regional conference, the state of California is a leader in renewable energy adoption, and so outcomes of this conference may have national impact. The proposed conference will involve active participation of undergraduate and graduate students from CSUN, which is certified as a Hispanic-Serving Institution, as well as an Asian American Native American-Pacific Islander Serving Institution (AANAPISI). Invitations will be extended to science teachers and students from local community college as well, to maximize participation and outreach.
