At long last: my @Princeton ZERO Lab has its own website! You can now find all of our publications, meet our team, and learn about our research at zero.lab.princeton.edu!

I’ve launched my personal website at anna-x-li.com! Visit the site to explore my latest research updates (anna-x-li.com/blog/2024/stor… 😉) and more.

We've start making 2-page Research Briefs summarizing key findings of recent research papers. The first two, led by @anna_x_li and @JackieADowling, respectively, relate to long-duration storage in wind-and-solar reliant electricity systems. climateenergylab.org/researchbriefs/

Thank you to my co-first authors, @EdgarVirguezR and @JackieADowling, as well as my other co-authors, @AliciaWongel, Dominic Covelli, @thruggles, and @Natasha_Reich, for their huge contributions to this paper!

This is because long-duration storage requires substantial discharge power-capacity to meet demand spikes during weather events, and can use this power-capacity 𝐭𝐨 𝐚𝐥𝐬𝐨 𝐦𝐞𝐞𝐭 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐭-𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐦 𝐩𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐬.

Check out my first-author paper, published in @ACSPublications @EnvSciTech, exploring the value of single- and multi-storage portfolios in #energy systems reliant on #solar and #wind. • Paper: doi.org/10.1021/acs.es… • 2-page brief: tinyurl.com/2rv83xkk #Renewables

And special thanks to my advisors @KenCaldeira from @carnegiescience and Nate Lewis from @Caltech for providing the research environment that greatly contributed to my development as a researcher :)

Honored to share that I’ve been selected as an @NSF Graduate Research Fellow this year, supporting my upcoming PhD studies at Princeton with Prof. @JesseJenkins . Looking forward to joining the ZERO lab this fall!

Four ways to look at global CO₂ emissions. 1. Which countries have contributed most historically? Share of cumulative CO₂ since 1750: 🇺🇸 US: 25% 🇨🇳 China: 14% 🇷🇺 Russia: 7% 🇩🇪 Germany: 5.5% 🇬🇧 UK: 4.6% 🇯🇵 Japan: 4% 🇮🇳 India: 3% 🇫🇷 France: 2.3% 🇨🇦 Canada: 2% 🇺🇦 Ukraine: 1.8%

Most of my life is devoted to data, research & progress on climate change. But it's a field I nearly walked away from when I was younger. I was hopeless that anything could change. That's why I'm convinced we need a new narrative. My article in @WIRED: wired.co.uk/article/climat…

@INFORMS2022 last week was great! I presented on #hydrogen storage innovations alongside @thruggles. @annaxli26’s poster on short-, mid,- and long-duration #energystorage won finalist for best poster out of 200! #proudmentor @carnegiescience @KenCaldeira @caltech #NateLewis

I presented at #informs2022 last week, where I was one of 9 finalists out of ~200 posters for my research on the role of multiple #energystorage technologies in wind and solar electricity systems. Big thank you to everyone who helped me along the way! lnkd.in/gcs36sdw
