DESCRIPTION:NEW DATE 16-June\n\n“Sand-Like Particles for High-Temperature
  Thermal Energy Storage: Enabling a Resilient Renewable Energy Future”\n
 \nwith Shin Young Jeong\, faculty member of the Center for Advanced Turbom
 achinery and Energy Research\, University of Central Florida.\n\nDate/Time
 : Tuesday\, June 16\, 6pm - 7 pm Pacific Time\n\nAbstract:\n\nThe transiti
 on to renewable energy has increased the need for reliable\, large-scale s
 torage to balance intermittent generation with continuous demand. Thermal 
 energy storage (TES) offers a cost-effective solution by capturing excess 
 energy as heat and releasing it when needed\, supporting long-duration sto
 rage and grid stability. Unlike batteries\, TES can scale to industrial le
 vels\, provide process heat\, and deliver electricity through power cycles
 . Recent advances use abundant\, low-cost materials such as sand-like part
 icles serving as both heat transfer media and storage. This talk will high
 light emerging TES technologies and their role in a resilient\, decarboniz
 ed energy future.\n\nSpeaker(s): Shin Young Jeong\, \n\nAgenda: \n6:00 pm
