DAY 2: ADDRESSING AND ADAPTING TO CLIMATE CHANGE KEYNOTE ADDRESS: ENERGY STORAGE TO ENERGY SYSTEMS – APPROACHES FOR A SUSTAINABLE ENERGY FUTURE AMY MARSCHILOK, PhD
Co-Director, Institute for Electrochemically Stored Energy Associate Professor, Department of Chemistry Adjunct Faculty, Materials Science and Chemical Engineering Stony Brook University Energy Storage Division Manager, Energy Systems Division Manager, and Scientist, Interdisciplinary Science Department Brookhaven National Laboratory There is an urgent national need to develop a more resilient, lower carbon electric grid. However, this presents multifaceted challenges to utilities, energy providers, and energy users. There are both energy storage and energy systems needs to progress towards a cleaner, greener electric grid. Faster-charging electric vehicle batteries are needed to motivate transition away from fossil fuels and increase penetration of electric vehicles. New chemistry and materials science solutions are needed for large-scale energy conversion and storage, with greater consideration for environmental abundance and safety considerations. At the energy systems level, there is great opportunity to integrate solar energy and wind energy into the grid. However, renewables are by nature intermittent, necessitating new approaches for forecasting and integration of storage. A multifaceted interdisciplinary science effort is underway to address these challenges at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) and Stony Brook University (SBU). Progress and opportunities in these areas will be highlighted in this presentation.
