DEC LUNCH
12:15-1:15pm in Fahey First Floor Commons
Utilities are undergoing a paradigm shift in their business model from primarily being electricity distributors to providers of a suite of value-added electricity services. Pavan Racherla will present a scalable optimization approach centered around system reduction that can be used to address associated problems such as the sizing and siting of energy storage. Optimization experiments are performed on a real distribution circuit in Vermont to identify scenarios that lead to the deployment of energy storage under high levels of distributed solar generation.

 TRIPS SUSTAINABILITY BRAINSTORM
7:30pm-8:30pm in Fairchild 101
Dartmouth's First Year Trips program is uniquely positioned to reach most of the incoming class. Although many steps have been taken to improve the overall logistical and social sustainability of the Trips program. this year we feel as though Trips is especially equipped to implement new initiatives, and we want YOUR ideas! This Thursday, Bella and Han (this year's Trips Sustainability Coordinators) will be holding space in Fairchild 101 to  discuss our ideas for sustainability in all modes for Trips 2019, and hope to work alongside your minds to brainstorm creative new ideas to make Trips 2019 the best- and "greenest" - one yet.
