Innovative Energy Systems

The one-size-fits-all approach to energy generation, transmission, and distribution is a concept of the past. Now and into the future, our energy mix will consist of multiple production sources, varied delivery mechanisms, and evolving conservation strategies. CAES supports the evolution in renewable energy  production, grid enhancement, energy storage, and carbon reduction strategies through research and discovery in areas including waste-heat utilization, molten-salt thermal storage, integrated modeling and systems management, and grid optimization.
