DOE Releases Three Funding Opportunities for R&D of Electricity Grid Technologies

The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Electricity (OE) has released three Notices of Funding Opportunity (NOFOs) worth about $18.4 million for programs to support research and development of electricity grid technologies.

The programs will reduce the cost of HVDC circuit breakers, improve risk assessment and communication for grid operators, and ensure communities respond to unanticipated energy storage system failures.

Upgrading critical systems and controls will extend the life of existing grid components, increase the grid’s ability to receive, transmit, and deliver electricity, as well as improve communications to help predict and prevent failures. Moreover, quantifying and communicating risk and uncertainties to decision-makers and human operators enables accurate and effective prediction, prevention, and mitigation of failures in the grid.
