Is a cold Utes system a viable solution for data centers?

“Our expectation is that a Cold UTES system can provide a long-duration energy storage and industrial-scale cooling solution that is commercially attractive and technically viable for data centers,” said Jeff Winick, technology manager at DOE’s Geothermal Technologies Office.

What is a systems-level approach to energy storage?

Our systems-level approach guides basic science and research to develop and characterize high-performing materials and components with a focus on reliability, longevity, and durability to protect critical energy infrastructure. Search the NREL Publications Database to access our full library of energy storage publications.

What is the National Energy Modeling system (NEMS)?

The National Energy Modeling System: An Overview (Overview) provides a summary of the National Energy Modeling System (NEMS), which makes projections published in our Annual Energy Outlook (AEO). NEMS is an energy-economy modeling system of U.S. energy markets for the period extending through 2050.

What is a National Energy Modeling System?

National Energy Modeling System structure The modules represent each of the fuel supply markets, conversion sectors, and end-use consumption sectors of the energy system. The modular design also allows us to use the methodology and level of detail most appropriate for each energy sector.

What resources are available for energy storage?

The following resources provide information on a broad range of storage technologies. General Battery Storage, ARPA-E’s Duration Addition to electricitY Storage (DAYS), HydroWIRES (Water Innovation for a Resilient Electricity System) Initiative

What is “long duration” in energy storage?

This document explores the definition of “long duration” as applied to energy storage. Given the growing use of this term, a uniform definition could aid in communication and consistency among various stakeholders. There is large and growing use of the Advanced Research Projects Agency–Energy (ARPA-E) definition of greater than 10 hours.
