Bio
Chuck Kutscher is a Principal Engineer in the Center for Buildings and
Thermal Systems, and is the Geothermal Team Leader. He has worked at
NREL since 1978. His projects have included design of a desiccant
cooling test laboratory, production of NREL's solar industrial process
heat design handbook, development of a stretched-membrane parabolic
dish, and NREL's low-cost solar collector effort. The latter involved
pioneering development (in conjunction with Conserval Systems, Inc.) of
the transpired air collector, winner of an R&D 100 Award and
Popular Science's "Best of What's New" award. Chuck is currently
working on development of an advanced air-cooled condenser for
binary-cycle geothermal power plants. He continues to be involved in
the solar energy field, and serves on the Board of Directors of the
American Solar Energy Society and as Chairman for 2000-2001. He has a
B.S. degree in physics from the State University of New York at Albany,
an M.S. degree in nuclear engineering from the University of Illinois
at Urbana-Champaign, and a Ph.D. in mechanical engineering from the
University of Colorado at Boulder.
Presentation
Title "Renewable Energy:
The Fuel of the 21st Century."
Abstract
As our nation begins to face up to the environmental crisis posed by
global warming, we find ourselves at the front lines of a monumental
shift in our energy infrastructure: from fossil fuels to renewable
energy sources. Dr. Kutscher will describe the benefits of renewable
energy, the state-of-the-art of the various technologies, current
R&D thrusts, and future potential. Technologies covered will
include concentrating solar power, photovoltaics, wind, biomass,
biofuels, and geothermal.
