About this opportunity
The Department of Energy's Office of Electricity (OE) and Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy's Wind Energy Technologies Office (EERE WETO) are seeking applicants for the Renewable Integration Management with Innovative High Voltage Direct Current Power Circuit Breakers (REIMAGINE BREAKERS) program, Funding Opportunity Number DE-FOA-0003396. This opportunity aims to develop standards for High Voltage Direct Current Circuit Breakers (HV DCCB) to support the protection and interoperability of hardware within Multi-Terminal HVDC (MTDC) transmission systems. Key objectives include ensuring seamless interconnection and coordination of HV DCCBs into existing high voltage AC & DC transmission systems. Eligible applicants include domestic entities such as higher education institutions, for-profit organizations, non-profit organizations, state/local governments, and Indian Tribes. The opportunity has two topic areas: (1) Standardization of HVDC Power Circuit Breaker Technology and (2) Innovative HV DCCB Designs. Concept papers are due January 17, 2025, and full applications are due February 28, 2025, with anticipated selection notifications by August 1, 2025.
Approximately $1.5 million is available for one award under the Standardization topic, and $6.5 million is available for 2-3 awards under the Innovative Designs topic. Both topic areas require 20% cost sharing and have a 36-month period of performance. The program falls under CFDA 81.122 (Electricity Research, Development and Analysis) and will be administered through cooperative agreements with substantial DOE involvement.
Synopsis
Renewable Integration Management with Innovative High Voltage Direct Current Power Circuit Breakers (REIMAGINE BREAKERS). Developing standards for High Voltage Direct Current Circuit Breakers (HV DCCB) will support the protection and interoperability of hardware within Multi-Terminal HVDC (MTDC) transmission systems and allow for seamless interconnection and coordination of HV DCCBs into existing high voltage AC & DC transmission systems. Standardization will provide key stakeholders with guidance to ensure all HV DCCBs developed are compatible with existing and future transmission networks. Additionally, the advancement of HV DCCB designs will aid in the development of novel ideas to reduce overall cost and footprint of the technology.
