(DE-FOA-0001886); April 6, 2018
Agency
Department
of Energy – Office
of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy
Description
Through
this Request for Information (RFI), the United States Department of Energy (DOE)
Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE), Water Power
Technologies Office (WPTO) seeks input on new research to maximize the value of
hydropower’s contribution to grid resiliency and reliability today and into the
future. This strategy includes pumped storage and traditional hydropower, and
covers both new technology design as well as modeling and analysis to assess
the range of value streams hydropower provides in the current and future power
grid. This research will build targeted insight into economic, policy and
technological barriers, inform future hydropower technology development, and
improve the tools by which investment and operational decisions are made. WPTO
seeks concise feedback from all relevant stakeholders.
This
is not a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) or a Notice of Technical
Assistance (NOTA); therefore, no funding will result from responding to this
RFI, and WPTO is not accepting applications at this time. WPTO may issue a FOA
or NOTA in the future based on or related to the content and responses to this
RFI; however, EERE may also elect not to issue a FOA or NOTA. Responding to this
RFI does not provide any advantage or disadvantage to potential applicants if
