Research Themes +
Energy Technologies Area (ETA) researchers are continually building on the strong scientific foundation we have developed over the past 50 years. We address the world’s most pressing climate challenges by bringing to market energy-efficient innovations across the buildings, transportation, and industrial sectors. ETA is at the forefront of developing better batteries for electric vehicles; improving the country's aging electrical grid and innovating distributed energy and storage solutions; developing grid-interactive, efficient buildings; and providing the most comprehensive market and data analysis worldwide for renewable technologies like wind and solar.
Strategic Initiatives +
The Energy Technologies Area (ETA) Strategic Plan is the guiding force for our research and development for the next ten years. It clearly charts a path toward clean-energy solutions and focuses on five detailed Strategic Initiatives. The Plan provides an in-depth look at how ETA is accelerating research to provide affordable, clean energy to all while accomplishing deep, economy-wide decarbonization, looking to avoid a rise in global average temperature while simultaneously developing solutions to increase humanity's resilience to extreme weather volatility.

Abstract

Eastern Regional Training:
Planning for Distribution Systems, Distributed Energy Resources, and Resilience

November 29-30, 2023 – Washington, D.C.

The National Association of State Energy Officials, National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners, and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory provided training on distribution system planning and resilience planning on November 29-30 in Washington, D.C. for State Energy Offices, public utility commissions, and utility consumer advocates. The training includes 101-level sessions as well as more in-depth technical sessions, interactive activities, and peer-sharing opportunities.

The U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Electricity, Building Technologies Office, and Grid Deployment Office supported the training.
