[LDES-technology] High-level discussions about CEC project

[Sarah Kurtz]

Hi, everybody,

At our next two Friday meetings, I’m suggesting the following conversations:

May 7 - Prepare for meeting with E3 on May 18.  E3 has been developing software designed to study long-duration storage and we will have opportunity to ask about what features they’ve included and compare notes. I expect that not everyone will be interested in this topic, but you are welcome to join if you find it interesting.

May 14 - I encourage everyone to come.  The table below is my count of seven papers that are being developed.  It would be great if we can review this list as well as the upcoming deliverables for the CEC project. I think this will be a good time for a high-level discussion about our directions and hope you’ll be able to come and bring your thoughts. My goal is that each student has at least one first-author paper in the works and I expect that each of you will also have a couple of other papers you will be coauthors on.

Your suggestions for upcoming agendas for meetings are welcome - if you know of a speaker you’d like to invite in or if you feel like you are ready to give a talk, I’d like to hear your suggestions.

Thanks for all of the progress!



Topic of paper

Targeted journal

Status

Lead author

Primary conclusion/impact

Defining long-duration storage

Issues in Science and Technology

Submitted and accepted pending editorial review

Sarah Kurtz, plus other team leads

Defining long-duration storage broadly will stimulate innovation

Seasonal challenges

PVSC conference proceedings

In final review for submission in May

Mahmoud Abido + 8 coauthors

Seasonal storage in a solar-driven grid will show minimum energy storage during the winter

Seasonal challenges

IEEE JPV

A rough draft is nearing completion

Mahmoud Abido

Biggest challenges to resource adequacy will occur during the winter unless off-shore wind or a flat or dispatchable generator is added

Review of currently available storage technologies

TBD

A rough draft is nearing completion

Rui Shan and Jeremiah Reagan

There are many storage options, some of which have the potential to replace existing fossil fuel plants

Analysis of storage applications and effect of off-shore wind

Applied Energy(?)

Data being organized for rough draft

Zabir Mahmud and Kenji Shiraishi

The amount of diurnal storage needed is about a quarter of a TWh. If the grid is solar dominated, the diurnal storage is used > 350 times/y. If wind is added, we still need the same amount of diurnal storage, but it will be used much less frequently

Time sampling in modeling of storage

TBD

Data being collected

Pedro Sanchez

How do we choose the time periods for accurately modeling different applications of long-duration storage?

Impact of load shifting

TBD

Data being organized

Ashling Leilaeioun

Impact on revenue when load shifting is used to move load from the head of the duck to the belly of the duck
