The team is also designing a control system exploring the feasibility of using industrial-scale Li-ion battery storage to minimize O&#038;M costs. Understanding these costs will help operators make decisions on how their plants can support a clean energy future.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Idaho National Laboratory Engineering\/Climate, 2023\u201324 Liaison(s): Hill Balliet \u201918 Advisor(s): TJ Tsai Students(s): Leah McGregor (TL-S), Henry Lee (TL-F), Melissa [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[708,705,164],"tags":[720],"class_list":["post-14053","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-climate-2","category-climate","category-engineering","tag-idaho-national-laboratory"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14053","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14053"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14053\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":14123,"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14053\/revisions\/14123"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14053"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=14053"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=14053"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
