Case Western Reserve University will host a one and a half day
workshop that will explore the technological solutions for reliable
electricity storage, the effective integration of renewable energy, and
national grid security on Monday and Tuesday, October 20-21, at 8 a.m.
(both days), in Nord Hall.

"Materials for Next-Generation Energy Storage: Challenge for
Cost-Effective Scientific and Technical Innovation" is being
co-sponsored by the university's Great Lakes Institute for Energy
Innovation, the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) and Energy
Voyager.

Two important, anticipated outcomes of the workshop will be an
"Innovation Road Map" and the beginning of an International Expert
Knowledge Community, composed of energy leaders who are working at the
frontier of distributed storage, materials science and the smart grid,
says J. Iwan D. Alexander, faculty director of the Great Lakes
Institute for Energy Innovation and professor of mechanical and
aerospace engineering at the Case School of Engineering.

"The workshop is designed to bring energy thought-leaders from
industry, academia and other research centers to meet the challenges
and opportunities—current and future—in electricity generation,
delivery, storage and use," Alexander said. "We're going to ask each
other tough questions that will help us identify and remove barriers to
innovation, provoke a clear definition of challenges for innovation in
energy storage, and provide a platform that will lead to the definition
and implementation of innovative R&D."
