Free food and beverage will be provid ed to the in-person attendees\, along with 1 PDH for those who needs conti nuing education hours.\n\nAbstract: The increased use of intermittent rene wable energy sources such as wind and solar energy has increased the need for energy storage solutions to address instances of low generation of ren ewables. Long duration energy storage\, defined as greater than 10 hours o f storage\, has been difficult to achieve with most storage technologies\, including chemical batteries. Pumped storage hydro is one promising long duration energy storage technology. During early morning hours when the el ectrical load is reduced\, water is pumped from a lower reservoir to an up per reservoir. During the day and early evening when the load peaks\, wate r is allowed to flow through a turbine coupled to a generator to provide a dditional generation capacity before returning to the lower reservoir. Unf ortunately\, many of the geological sites that can support pumped storage hydro have already been developed in the United States. A potential novel option is to use a mine void as the lower reservoir with the upper reservo ir at ground level. This presentation will look at the potential of pumped storage hydro in soon-to-be-abandoned mines.\n\nSpeaker(s): Rob\n\nAgenda : \n5:00 - 5:10 pm: Arrival & Refreshments\n\n5:10 - 6:00 pm: Lecture\n\n6 :00 - 6:10 pm: Q&A\n\nRoom: Room ET 312\, Bldg: Purdue University Indianap olis\, 799 W.
