[LDES-technology] Data collection form looking forward to your feedback

[Sarah Kurtz]

Hi, Rui,

I’m really pleased to see this coming together!!

I’ve made some edits. See attached.

Would it be ok if I sent it to the Storage Advisory Board with a note something like this (note that it would be nice to send it on Wednesday Dec. 2 if possible):

Dear X,

I wanted to let you know that our first public workshop will be tomorrow, Dec. 3rd at 1 pm (see info below….)  [If you agree to my sending this out, I will add more info]

We are now ready to move into the next phase of our work and would love to meet with you to gather more data about your technology. We have assembled the attached spreadsheet. We know that each technology is different and the data fields may need to be modified to best describe your technology, so we would be delighted to meet with you to answer your questions as you fill in the information.
In the Excel sheet, there are three visible tabs: Read Me; Technical info; and Economic info. The Read Me tab provides a brief introduction of the project. The Technical info is designed for the engineer, and the Economic info is designed for budgeting staff and accountant. .

Could you please respond with an indication of when you think it would be most productive for us to meet with you? We know that you may not have clear answers to all of the questions, so would be pleased to conduct this more as an interview. Or, if you already have a well-defined product, you may find that it is easiest to simply fill in the spreadsheet and return it to us.



Questions:
• Shall we ask that they contact Noah to schedule the time of the meeting ? Or, If all of us would like to join, then we should identify times when we are available and list those options?
• I wrote the above hurriedly - I would plan to tailor each message according to what we already heard from each company.   Is there anything you’d like to have added or that I should avoid saying as I craft those messages?
• Are you ok if I send the spreadsheet tomorrow - maybe labeled as a draft?
• I plan to copy all of you, but let me know if you’d prefer not to be copied.
• Given that we haven’t had time to finish discussing this draft, I could send the message about the workshop tomorrow and simply note that we have a spreadsheet that we plan to send sometime this month. Would that be better?  Maybe I’m jumping the gun here…

Dear all,

Hope you have enjoyed a great Thanksgiving.

As we discussed in the last meeting, I attach the data collection list here for your review. Your feedback would be highly appreciated.

In the Excel sheet, there are three visible tabs: Read Me; Technical info; and Economic info. The Read Me tab provides a brief introduction of the project. The Technical info is designed for the engineer, and the Economic info is designed for budgeting staff and accountant. Due to the complexity of the data we want to collect, we may need to schedule meetings/interviews with companies to guide them complete the form, in addition to sending them the form.

Look forward to hearing from you. Thank you all in advance.

Best,
Rui Shan
