Underground Cooling Technology, Summer Internships, and Advancing Grid Reliability

In this episode of Peaks to Power, hosts Kerrin and Taylor get into the details on a partnership to advance grid reliability, some fantastic interns, and energy storage strategies.  \- NLR researchers, in collaboration with Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, the University of Chicago, Princeton University, and industrial advisors, study opportunities to lower costs of computing facilities through cooling systems.   \- Lab interns take a trip into the Edgar Experimental Mine near Golden, Colorado, and share their summer internship experiences.    \- NLR and the North American Electric Reliability Corporation launch a partnership to advance the reliability of the North American bulk power system.  *This episode was hosted by Kerrin Jeromin and Taylor Mankle, written and produced by Allison Montroy, Hannah Halusker, and Kaitlyn Stottler, and edited by Taylor Mankle, Joe DelNero, and Brittany Falch.
