The U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy awarded a $1,000,000 Project Grant to North Carolina State University under the Renewable Energy Research and Development program (CFDA 81.087). The grant funds the development of a novel "Mariner" fluid kinetic energy conversion device that can exploit current flow in near and offshore applications. The device utilizes the effect of drag forces to create a reciprocating motion that can be used to generate power. The project offers a mechanically simple energy extraction system that aims to reduce environmental risks and expand deployment possibilities to areas with lower flow speeds and higher marine life presence. North Carolina State University, a leading 1862 Land Grant institution, will leverage its advanced research and development capabilities to deliver this innovative renewable energy technology solution.
