[LDES-technology] Happy New Year and spring meeting schedules

[Sarah Kurtz]

Happy New Year, everyone!
I hope all of you are having a wonderful holiday!  I’m very thankful to be working with all of you.
One of my New Year’s resolutions is to try to communicate well about meetings.  So, here is a start:

Planned meeting times (all times Pacific):
Fridays at 9 am we will continue with our standard meetings.  If you didn’t receive a meeting invite for Fridays at 9 am, please add it to your calendar and help me find out why you didn’t receive it.
Jan. 8th we will discuss feedback for E3 about their proposed scenarios and what we would like to do - I will send a separate email about this because it is an important discussion.
Jan. 15th Erin Childs from Strategen will meet with us about Strategen’s report: https://www.storagealliance.org/longduration<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.storagealliance.org%2Flongduration&data=04%7C01%7Cechilds%40strategen.com%7Ce38a52bede9045666b6608d89d7588bb%7C5776570c455d4878b13c39bf8e74aff3%7C0%7C0%7C637432475425137763%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=9h4WhmssYMxBCLigOxPSNbXGNFNWd0FTH7Xw3hQgI78%3D&reserved=0>

Journal club - I’d like to start a weekly journal club meeting for those who are interested.
I’m suggesting Mondays at 10 am Will this work for everyone who is interested?
Jan. 11 Discuss Strategen Report https://www.storagealliance.org/longduration<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.storagealliance.org%2Flongduration&data=04%7C01%7Cechilds%40strategen.com%7Ce38a52bede9045666b6608d89d7588bb%7C5776570c455d4878b13c39bf8e74aff3%7C0%7C0%7C637432475425137763%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=9h4WhmssYMxBCLigOxPSNbXGNFNWd0FTH7Xw3hQgI78%3D&reserved=0> Note that Strategen concludes we need 55 GW of long-duration storage. Dan was surprised by this. Is there anything in the report that we want to quiz Erin Childs about?
Please be considering what reports/papers you would like to discuss in future weeks. I would love it if each of you is willing to take a turn volunteering to identify an important paper to discuss. We may start with some suggestions from the recent TAC meeting.

The Technology evaluation sub team is scheduled to meet Wednesdays at 8 am (is there any change to this?)

The SWITCH Modeling group is scheduled to meet Thursdays at 11 am

I am planning to try doing something like “Office hours or group work time” Monday through Thursday at 1 pm and maybe Fridays at 4 pm. This would be a time that we can connect informally to check on progress and maybe get help from Pedro if he’s available  😊.

Wishing you all the the best year ever in 2021!

Sarah
