Title

Fourth Energy Storage Symposium

Abstract

This symposium will bring together key participants from the public and private sectors and from the academic and research communities—to engage in a discussion about energy storage and how we can move the industry forward in Silicon Valley.

The event will include keynote presentations from Assistant Secretary Patricia Hoffman of the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Electricity Delivery and Energy Reliability, and Assembly member Nancy Skinner (15th District). The agenda will include updates on energy storage at the state and federal levels, as well as a deep dive into some local energy storage initiatives.

"Energy storage is a big issue for any scenario where renewable energy sources are being integrated into the electrical grid. Most renewable energy sources--such as solar, wind, and wave power--are intermittent, so the problem is how to store energy generated when it is not needed and then make it available at times when the demand for electricity is high," said Michael Isaacson, director of CenSEPS and the Narinder Singh Kapany Professor of Optoelectronics in the Baskin School of Engineering at UCSC."

This meeting is co-hosted by the Monterrey Bay Subsection of the IEEE and the UCSC Center for Sustainable Energy and Power Systems (CenSEPS) in partnership with Joint Venture Silicon Valley.
