The March 2022 edition of the SSAE Newsletter provides updates about recent research initiatives undertaken within NETL’s Strategic Systems Analysis and Engineering (SSAE) directorate.

Click here to access this latest edition and learn about activities that SSAE is leading to gain insights into new energy concepts, support the analysis of energy system interactions and advance its capabilities.

Highlights in this edition include:

• NETL Advances FLECCS Project: NETL, in collaboration with Susteon, Svante and LADWP, is evaluating a rapid cycle thermal swing adsorption CO₂ capture technology under the Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy’s (ARPA-E) FLExible Carbon Capture and Storage (FLECCS) program.
• NETL Collaboration Paves Way for Integrated DAC Systems: The advanced optimization capabilities of SSAE’s Process Systems Engineering Research Team were used to reduce cost CO₂CO₂ removal technologies in work with Exxon Mobil Research and Engineering Company to assess integrating DAC systems with NGCC to achieve net-zero emissions.
• IDAES Demonstrates ML-Augmented Flexibility Analysis: NETL’s IDAES demonstrated the use of machine learning (ML) to augment the flexibility analysis of integrated energy systems.

In addition, the newsletter lists upcoming conferences, meetings and events at which SSAE researchers will present findings, as well as links to recent presentations.
