Literally in my backyard. Three very different races: the Wicked Tough 10k packs in 1,600' of gain, the 20k is mostly wide multi-use trail (still not flat), and the 50k hits all 6 major peaks with minimal overlap and 7,600' total. Views like these are what you're here for.

A couple months back my wife and I bought a B&B in Camden, Maine (blueharborhouse.com). It's a fantastic area, within walking distance of the ocean and mountains. I'm still working on energy system modeling at Princeton and would love to have people come up to visit!

NEWS: Six months before the Trump admin began bombing Iran, the Department of State fired its oil and gas experts. State’s energy division got completely DOGE’d. And with it went the people who knew how to plan for a global energy crisis.

Things are apocalyptic for science in the US. It might not seem that way to everyone because many academic scientists have tenure and get to keep their jobs (for now), and most grants last three years, so many scientists still have funding. But it's going to get way worse.

The #USRSE (research software engineering) conference wrapped up today. I was excited about 1) the number of undergrads attending, and 2) that there are already recent college grads working in the field. It's great to see the field expand beyond those of us with PhDs that stumbled into it.

#EnergySky I noticed that Idaho Power lists ALL of their existing/proposed storage units as flow batteries (FLB) in EIA860. They also show max discharge rates as 4-10x the charge rate. Duration is 4 hours in all cases. Anyone know if these are just LiB, or actually something different?

I'm digging into the EIA 860 Energy Storage file, where there are a bunch of columns that describe its application (arbitrage, frequency reg, backup power, etc). Values are "Y" or "PR". But PR isn't described anywhere! After some digging, I'm pretty sure that PR is "primary". You're welcome.
Questions 40a and 40b from EIA-860 Schedule 3, Part B. They ask what the primary and secondary application(s) are of the energy storage device.

TLDR -- you can get unit-level O&M data out of NEMS for generators in the US! The data are easy to misunderstand so I've provided some helpful details. @catalyst.coop

Greg Schivley @gschivley.bsky.social · 27/05/2025
Long before EIA had an open NEMS GitHub repo, I started using a 2019 AEO report on existing generator O&M costs. It splits plants into a few cost bins by size. Turns out EIA doesn't use those values! In an addendum they say plants are split into further subgroups. 1/n www.eia.gov/analysis/stu...

AEO 2025 was released in April and I wanted to see if coal prices for electric power changed from 2023. The 2023 prices were lower than observed prices in some regions and led models to run coal at high CFs. Good news--prices start ⬆️! Then they crater as NEMS retires nearly *all* coal capacity. 1/3
