Digital twins for canal, hydrokinetic turbine and array power modeling & optimization

The Department of Energy's Office of Science awarded a $200,000 Project Grant (CFDA 81.049 - Office of Science Financial Assistance Program) to Emrgy Inc., a self-certified small disadvantaged business in Atlanta, Georgia. The grant supports the development of digital twins for modeling and optimization of canal, hydrokinetic turbine, and turbine array power systems. The project aims to advance hydrokinetic energy generation by improving power coefficients, reducing capital and operating expenses, enabling plug-and-play grid integration, and creating cloud-based resource characterization tools for performance monitoring and optimization. Emrgy Inc. collaborates with academic and industry partners to pursue these research and development objectives, which are aligned with the Office of Science's mission to deliver scientific discoveries and technological innovations that transform energy, economic, and national security capabilities.
