Energy Storage 2017: Opportunities and Challenges for Electric Grid, Wave, Hydropower and Other Sustainable Energies

该补助金支持研讨会能源存储2017：电网的机遇和挑战，波，水电和其他可持续能源在俄勒冈州州立大学11月5日至6日，2017.本次研讨会的目的是为来自学术界，国家实验室和工业界的研究人员讨论可再生能源（包括风能，波浪能和太阳能）储能的基础和应用研究需求。研讨会将包括关于电动汽车电池组使用的基本问题的主题;以及处理电网互连的大容量存储系统。讨论的重点将是这些系统和电网的可靠性。储能技术的弹性将影响储能系统的选择及其在给定能源或应用中的实施。研讨会还将讨论与储能系统的商业化和制造有关的问题。美国国家科学基金会将提供旅费和注册，以支持大约20名本科生和研究生参加研讨会。组织者将强调扩大参与，鼓励妇女和代表性不足的少数民族参加STEM。学生将有机会参加讲座和海报会议，并与教师和国家实验室和行业研究人员建立联系。研讨会的成果是一项战略，旨在加强大学、国家实验室和工业界之间的合作，开展基础和应用研究，支持可持续运输和发电的能源储存。

This grant supports the workshop Energy Storage 2017: Opportunities and Challenges for Electric Grid, Wave, Hydropower and Other Sustainable Energies at Oregon State University on November 5-6, 2017. The objective of this workshop is for researchers from academia, national laboratories, and industry to discuss the fundamental and applied research needs for energy storage with renewable energy including wind, wave, and solar. The workshop will include topics on the fundamental issues of the use of battery packs for electric vehicles; and of large storage capacity systems to handle grid interconnections. The discussions will be focused on how robust these systems and electric grids are. The resilience in energy storage technologies will affect the choices of storage systems and their implementation with a given energy resource or application. The workshop will also address issues related to the commercialization and manufacturing of energy storage systems. National Science Foundation will provide travel funds and registration to support approximately 20 undergraduate and graduate students to attend the workshop. The organizers will emphasize broadening participation to encourage women and underrepresented minorities in STEM attendance. The students will have an opportunity to attend talks and poster sessions and network with faculty and national laboratory and industry researchers. The outcome of the workshop is a strategy to increase collaboration across universities, national laboratories, and industry for fundamental and applied research supporting energy storage for sustainable transport and electricity generation.
