The team,...
- The U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy awarded a $738,318 Cooperative Agreement to the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) under the Renewable Energy Research and Development (CFDA 81.087) program. Over the 14-month period from October 2023 to November 2024, this funding will support EPRI in conducting planning and design for a community geothermal heating and cooling system retrofit project. The key objectives are to: 1) perform a...
- The National Park Service awarded a $190,000 cooperative agreement to Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University from June 2022 through June 2027 under the Cooperative Research and Training Programs – Resources of the National Park System program (CFDA 15.945). The university will characterize bat population ecology within three national parks by using acoustic detectors and mist netting to capture, process, and radio track bats to day roosts and foraging areas from June through...
- The Regents of the University of Michigan were awarded a $3.9 million cooperative agreement from the Department of Energy's Advanced Research Projects Agency - Energy (ARPA-E) to develop the Reconfigurable Array of High-Efficiency Ducted Turbines (RAFT) concept for hydrokinetic energy harvesting. The project period is from September 2021 through September 2024. Under the award, the University of Michigan will lead efforts to develop and demonstrate the RAFT concept through expertise in...
- The U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) awarded a $499,796 Cooperative Agreement to Baldwin Wallace University to help grow a skilled marine energy workforce in the Great Lakes region. The project, funded through the Renewable Energy Research and Development program (CFDA 81.087), engages Baldwin Wallace University and Davis Aerospace & Maritime High School students in the development of user-centered marine energy solutions designed for the...
- The University of Rhode Island Research Foundation (URIRF) was awarded a $100,000 Cooperative Agreement by the Department of Energy's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy under the Renewable Energy Research and Development program (CFDA 81.087). The award, titled "BLUE POWER ACCELERATE: CATALYZING INNOVATION IN MARINE AND HYDROPOWER", is intended to support advanced research, development, and demonstration of renewable energy technologies, with a focus on improving...
- This Cooperative Agreement award, valued at $164,297.00, was provided by the National Park Service under the Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System (CFDA 15.945) federal grant program. The award will fund field research by Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University (Virginia Tech) to document bat species presence and activity in select national parks on the Colorado Plateau, a bat diversity hotspot. The research will also collect samples...
The Department of Energy's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) awarded a $2,200,000 Cooperative Agreement (CFDA 81.087 - Renewable Energy Research and Development) to the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) to conduct a full-scale evaluation of ultraviolet (UV) light as a deterrent to prevent bat fatalities at wind turbines. The project will tackle three research interests: targeted behavioral research on bat deterrent stimuli, in-situ bat deterrent testing at a commercial-scale wind energy facility, and advancements for UV deterrents. EPRI will evaluate the effectiveness of UV deterrents on changing bat behavior within the rotor-swept zone using 3D flight tracking and acoustic monitoring to test how bat species react to three UV treatments: lights off (control), lights flickering asynchronously ('UV noise'), and lights flickering in synchrony ('UV flash'). EPRI will also collaborate with sub-awardees The Regents of the University of Colorado and Bat Conservation International, Inc. to support the research activities.
