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 labs aims to address a grand national challenge from an objective, holistic perspective.
