Case Western Reserve University will lead a two-year energy storage research project, thanks to a $1.65 million grant from Ohio’s Federal Research Network (FRN).
Led by the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI), Case Western Reserve researchers will investigate grid integration of solar photovoltaic (PV) generation, energy storage, load management and solar forecasting. The project is part of the Energy Department’s Sustainable and Holistic Integration of Energy Storage and Solar PV, or SHINES, program.
In its annual list of the brightest young minds in the country, Forbes selected Felipe Gomez del Campo, a senior majoring in mechanical and aerospace engineering at Case Western Reserve University, for his excellence in energy work. Gomez del Campo was recognized for his work on a fuel injector for jet engines.
