Future novel hybrid energy systems could lead to paradigm shifts in clean energy production, according to a paper published last week in
Joule.
Researchers from the U.S. Department of Energy s (DOE s) three applied energy laboratories Idaho National Laboratory (INL), the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), and the National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) co?authored the paper describing such integrated energy systems.
Their effort outlines novel concepts to simultaneously leverage diverse energy generators including renewable, nuclear, and fossil with carbon capture to provide power, heat, mobility, and other energy services. The historic collaboration between the nation s nuclear energy, renewable energy, and fossil energy laboratories aims to address a grand national challenge from an objective, holistic perspective.

The historic collaboration between the nation s Nuclear Energy, Renewable Energy, and Fossil Energy labs aims to address a grand national challenge from an objective, holistic perspective. The design of integrated energy systems is a significant challenge and opportunity, INL director Mark Peters, PhD, said. The collaboration by the three applied national laboratories, and the setup and operation of real-world experiments at their testing facilities, represents a comprehensive and focuse
