® ™
• Knowledge management and transfer prevents duplication of efforts
• Share lessons learned from emerging energy systems
• Repository for institutional capabilities, contacts, publications, data, and current research
• Hands-on research experiences for students; inspires projects/thesis topics
• Development of energy systems curricula and summer schools to train workforce
• Engage global community to leverage proposed ESI R&D
International Institute of Energy Systems Integration

Purpose
• providing thought leadership, highlighting where the challenges exist, and helping form teams across disciplines to address the challenges.
• champion internationally the application of scientific disciplines to address the challenges of Energy Systems Integration (ESI).
– the scientific disciplines can range from simulation
science, optimisation, materials for new ESI devices, policy, human behavioural sciences, economic and business models, etc.
12
Scope of activities
• workshops, conferences, summer schools
• running high level topical courses given by the best in the world
• becoming a central repository of data, models and benchmark problems in the area
• working with Universities to stimulate the correct human capital
• a few high profile post doc and PhD positions (funded by the institute but doing the detailed research in e.g. PNNL or NREL)
• identifying research that needs to be done to develop the energy system, in particular longer term basic sciences that could result in devices that can enhance the energy system

Next Steps
• PNNL & NREL set up iIESI …….……
• October 24/25, 2013, Brussels meeting with European Energy Research Alliance to investigate a JP in ESI ………………
• Workshop on ESI in January 2014, Washington DC…………….
