项目摘要

Renewable energy has been the fastest growing source of new energy over the past decade, and is expected to provide as much as 25% of the nation's electricity by the year 2020 (US EIA). Driven by battery costs that have declined 70% since 2012, the global energy storage market is also experiencing tremendous growth, as storage technology is integrated with renewable energy. Europe has been on the leading edge of this trend: in 2017, half of all German solar energy installations included energy storage systems, delivering a wide range of cost-saving and energy resilience benefits for customers, utilities, and the grid. The trend is being accelerated by the integration of energy storage and plug-in electric vehicles, with major German manufacturers announcing new battery storage products in 2016. However, in the next five years, the U.S. is expected to become the world's largest energy storage market, having a compound annual growth rate of 21% (IHS Market forecast). It is expected that, by 2020, more than half of the deployments will be customer-owned systems. To support US innovation in energy storage, industry needs technicians who have skills and familiarity in this technology area. To meet this need, Madison Area Technical College will prepare a new group of community college instructors and technicians to work with energy storage technologies. This project will study best practices from Europe, and use the information to develop industry-validated instructional resources for community college students and faculty. The results have the potential to shape and enhance energy storage technician education efforts, and to support the greater role of the United States as a global leader in the energy storage industry.The goal of this project will be to support the integration of energy storage technology into existing educational programs for energy technicians. The project will use an evidence-based international learning model, in which community college faculty will gather global knowledge and expertise to produce an energy storage job task analysis and industry-validated curriculum and instructional materials. The project will equip a model teaching laboratory and develop courses that integrate energy storage, electric vehicle, and solar photovoltaic technologies. The teaching laboratory will serve as a platform for introduction of new curriculum for college students. This facility will also be used to provide professional development workshops for community college faculty from across the country, with the goal of strengthening energy education across the nation. The resources created in the project will be made available online and accessible to a wide audience.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

可再生能源是过去十年中增长最快的新能源来源，预计到 2020 年将提供多达 25% 的国家电力（美国 EIA）。在电池成本自2012年以来下降70%的推动下，随着存储技术与可再生能源的结合，全球储能市场也正在经历巨大的增长。欧洲一直处于这一趋势的前沿：2017年，德国一半的太阳能装置包括储能系统，为客户、公用事业和电网带来了广泛的成本节约和能源弹性效益。储能与插电式电动汽车的融合正在加速这一趋势，德国主要制造商于2016年宣布推出新的电池存储产品。不过，在未来五年内，美国预计将成为全球最大的储能市场，复合年增长率为 21%（IHS Market 预测）。预计到 2020 年，一半以上的部署将是客户拥有的系统。为了支持美国在储能领域的创新，行业需要拥有该技术领域技能和熟悉程度的技术人员。为了满足这一需求，麦迪逊地区技术学院将准备一批新的社区大学讲师和技术人员来研究储能技术。该项目将研究欧洲的最佳实践，并利用这些信息为社区学院的学生和教师开发经过行业验证的教学资源。研究结果有可能塑造和加强储能技术人员的教育工作，并支持美国作为储能行业全球领导者发挥更大的作用。该项目的目标将是支持储能技术的整合纳入现有的能源技术人员教育计划。该项目将采用基于证据的国际学习模式，社区学院教师将收集全球知识和专业知识，以制作储能工作任务分析以及经过行业验证的课程和教学材料。该项目将配备示范教学实验室，开发融合储能、电动汽车和太阳能光伏技术的课程。教学实验室将作为大学生新课程导入的平台。该设施还将用于为全国各地的社区大学教师提供专业发展研讨会，以加强全国范围内的能源教育。该项目创建的资源将在网上提供给广大受众。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
