Sustainable Design of Hybrid Energy Systems towards Carbon Neutrality

As Cornell is transitioning to a carbon-free energy system by 2035, the campus energy system of the future will be based on 100% renewable energy sources. Specifically, the electricity will be mainly sourced from the local electric grid, which is expected to be carbon-free in the next two decades. E...
