The report, sponsored by the American Physical Society (APS), will outline recommendations to overcome technological challenges facing the grid.  With 30 states operating under renewable energy standards (RES), federal policymakers have developed proposals to establish a national RES.  But the standard will remain unmet unless technical hurdles are overcome.  The APS report identifies barriers and the steps policymakers must take to deal with them.
