The Role of Machinery in Energy Storage

Wed, Oct 25, 2023 11:00 AM EDT{LOCAL_TZ}

Event Overview:

This webinar will introduce anticipated opportunities for machinery-based power systems in the future grid and provide an overview of existing technology development efforts at Southwest Research Institute to support the commercialization of next-generation energy storage, including oxy-combustion gas turbines with oxygen storage, hydrogen gas turbines and compressors, and non-combustion gas turbines integrated with thermal energy storage or compressed/liquid air. As a case study, the presenters will discuss a Pumped Thermal Energy Storage pilot system that is operating and incorporating custom turbomachinery development for a closed-air Brayton cycle heat pump and heat engine operation.

Key Learning Objectives:
  • Leveraging the scalability and manufacturability of machinery-based systems
  • An overview of existing technology developments efforts that support the commercialization of next-generation technologies
  • A case study on the Pumped Thermal Energy Storage pilot system
Who Should Attend:
  • Gas turbine OEMs
  • Gas turbine operators
  • Combined cycle power plant operators
  • Aftermarket suppliers in the power industry
  • The turbomachinery supply chain focused on power generation
