COFFEE BREAK: Long-Duration Energy Storage

May 20, 2022 @ 10:00 am - 10:30 am

Coordination Chemistry Flow Battery (CCFB), have you heard of them? They are not your typical battery, sealed battery such as lead acid, or lithium-ion, flow batteries separate the power and energy portions of a battery system. Energy is stored in a liquid electrolyte which is flowed through a stack of electrodes! Lockheed Martin, Senior Mechanical Engineer, Hannah Chapin-Eppert will present their GridStar Flow system, providing flexible, durable, long-duration (>6 hours) energy storage for utility scale projects.

For large-scale industrial energy management, microgrid support, utility reserve capacity, and transmission and distribution within large-scale renewables integration — having batteries designed to exhibit lower system cost, higher efficiency, and longer useful life is powerful.  

FEATURED GUEST: Hannah Chapin-Eppert, Senior Mechanical Engineer, Lockheed Martin Advanced Energy Storage

Hannah Chapin-Eppert is a native St. Louisan living in Boston Massachusetts as a lead mechanical engineer with Lockheed Martin Advanced Energy Storage, LLC designing their new flow battery, GridStar Flow. Hannah attended Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology, earning a degree in mechanical engineering. Before working with Lockheed Martin, Hannah worked at Rolls-Royce on-board U.S. Navy ships, focusing on gas turbines, generator set package design for the U.S. Navy Arleigh Burke Flight III Destroyers, and gas turbine waste heat recovery as a Mechanical Design Engineer.
