Johns Hopkins researchers join push for 100% renewable energy power grids

September 23, 2023

Media Inquiries Name Hannah Robbins Email [email protected] Ralph O'Connor Sustainable Energy Institute (ROSEI), in collaboration with partners from around the globe, has established a new center focused on helping society transition towards 100% renewable energy for power grids. Ben Hobbs Whiting School of Engineering "I really do believe that having people from different backgrounds is the only way to create a power grid run solely on renewable energy because you have to consider so many different factors." EPICS tackles this issue head-on by strategically partnering directly with three major global organizations that the researchers already have close ties with: Global Power System Transformation Consortium (G-PST), Energy Systems Integration Group (ESIG) and Future Power Markets Forum (FPMF). "I really do believe that having people from different backgrounds is the only way to create a power grid run solely on renewable energy because you have to consider so many different factors," Hobbs said. Students who would like to join EPICS are encouraged to contact faculty members whose research lines up with their interests.
