ENY 2023 - Distributed Real-time Entanglement, Acoustic, and Mooring Structural Health Monitoring System (DREAMS)

Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory has been awarded a contract by the California Energy Resources Conservation organization with an encumbrance value of $3.0 million. The contract, designated EPC-25-039, was awarded on March 1, 2026, and encompasses two line items for the Distributed Real-time Entanglement, Acoustic, and Mooring Structural Health Monitoring System (DREAMS) platform. The 2023 fiscal year component is valued at $2,294,237, while the 2024 fiscal year component is valued at $705,763.

The contract deliverables focus on developing and implementing advanced monitoring systems designed to detect and address entanglement risks, acoustic signatures, and structural integrity of mooring infrastructure. These capabilities support real-time environmental monitoring and assessment, consistent with California's energy resources conservation objectives. Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory will serve as the prime contractor responsible for system development, integration, and delivery of the DREAMS monitoring platform across the specified fiscal periods.
