Description
Renewable energy production is intermittent and not always available when needed. The ideal storage system will provide an agricultural producer the option of either (a) using the energy stored, as needed, to power large loads such as irrigations pumps, or (b) selling excess or stored energy back to the utility during peak load. Lastly, an underlying requirement of iCAST's CAES pilot was to provide the agricultural community an affordable energy storage...

Description
The Electrical Energy Storage Research Group at the University of Colorado at Boulder has compiled this report to summarize research findings and to increase the understanding of renewable energy storage opportunities in Colorado. This report investigates three large scale energy storage options: pumped hydroelectric energy storage (PHES), underground pumped hydroelectric storage (UPHS), and compressed air energy storage (CAES). The information is...

Description
The primary goal of this project is to provide agricultural producers the best energy storage solution that will maximize the benefits of generating their own energy from various renewable energy systems. Without an energy storage device, producers are forced to sell their renewable energy at very low prices to their utility and then have to buy energy from the utility at a much higher rate. The ideal storage system will provide a producer the option...

The ACRE grant program has funded 56 projects since its inception in 2007. These projects span many areas of renewable energy (RE) including: anaerobic digestion (biogas), biochar, biofuels, biomass combustion, energy efficiency, energy storage, micro-hydro, solar, and wind. These projects have successfully fulfilled ACRE's mission of: 1) advancing knowledge in the area of RE within the agriculture industry in CO; 2) funding a variety of projects...

Description
Students discover the incredible power stored inside the tiny atom! Through fission, the splitting of an atom's nucleus, or fusion, the combining of protons and neutrons from two different atoms huge amounts of energy can be released. They also learn that although nuclear energy is a clean, almost inexhaustible energy resource, there are safety issues that must be addressed.
