SRS 2019: Dean's Award, Engineering - Edwin Gonzalez
Apr 12Energy storage solutions are important to address the imbalance of renewable energy resources and the net energy demand in the state of California; an effect known as the “duck curve.” The presentation at the SRS was for a numerical code, modeling a rock-filled thermal energy storage system. This storage system was developed to be used in conjunction with a concentrated solar power combined cycle power tower plant. The numerical model of the hybrid solar combined cycle was previously developed at the Combustion and Solar Energy Lab.
