NIChE Workshop on Materials for Large-Scale Energy Storage
September 16-17, 2010
National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Gaithersburg, MD
Energy storage on the megawatt scale is a significant technical and economic challenge. Power companies are working to develop market strategies to reliably deliver electricity and power when and where it’s needed and storage materials research efforts are growing fast. This workshop covered the end-use applications and market drivers for large-scale storage, the R&D efforts that are pushing the boundaries, and some near-deployment technologies.
