This Cooperative Agreement award from the U.S. Department of Energy's Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) provides $3,000,000 in funding to Emrgy Inc. for a 2-year research and development project entitled "Performance Enhancement of Hydrokinetic Arrays Using Reliable, Low-Cost Dynamic Components." Emrgy Inc., a small disadvantaged business, is teaming with Premier Energy Holdings, Stanford University, and the University of Tennessee, Knoxville to address technological challenges in the riverine environment, including improving power coefficients, reducing capital and operating expenses, and developing cloud-based resource characterization tools. The project aims to enhance the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of Emrgy's modular hydropower turbine systems for low-head and low-to-medium flow conditions. This award is funded under ARPA-E's SHARKS SBIR-STTR program (CFDA 81.135) and aligns with the agency's mission to support transformative, high-risk research and development in energy technologies.
