Energy Systems and Infrastructure Assessment
Energy Resources and Demand
By linking resource development with real-world demand, Argonne advances data-driven strategies for a flexible, reliable and cost-effective energy future.
Argonne conducts in-depth research on how electric power system resources and demand are changing in response to emerging technologies, policies, and market dynamics.
On the supply side, Argonne focuses on:
- Electricity generation technologies
- Energy storage systems
- Optimal operation and valuation of energy resources
- Energy economics and policy analysis
- Operation of existing electricity markets and potential future market designs
This work supports the development of reliable, flexible and cost-effective energy systems for the future.
On the demand side, research targets:
- Energy efficiency in buildings and building technologies
- Industrial and manufacturing systems and processes
- Supply chains and critical materials
These efforts help reduce energy consumption, improve reliability and strengthen the U.S. energy supply chain.
