Presentations from MRCSP 2019 partners meeting with overviews of the program, technical work, policies, synergistic projects, the new regional initiative, and next steps.
ARPA-E’s initial $400 million budget was a part of the 2009 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. ARPA-E received $180 million in Fiscal Year 2011 and $275 million in Fiscal Year 2012. Below you will find information on ARPA-E’s fiscal year budget requests.
The TidGen Power System generates emission-free electricity from tidal currents and connects directly into existing grids using smart grid technology. The power system consists of three major subsystems: shore-side power electronics, mooring system, and turbine generator unit (TGU) device. This submission includes the Advanced TidGen cost and cost of energy metrics after critical design review for BP1, and a complete LCOE content model and LCOE reporting according to DOE guidance for the baseline system and the system with advanced technology integrated. A revised LCOE content model is also included, with more relevant market array assumptions. Additionally, this submission includes a complete system overview and component overview content models. The LCOE Content Model provides data submitters with an easy and consistent means of uploading data that can be used to calculate the levelized cost of energy for MHK devices. Data represents the design completed for the Critical Design Review conducted at ORPC in December, 2017. All values are for a single device. Note that with substantial fixed costs, larger arrays will greatly reduce LCOE. For an array in Admiralty Inlet producing 136,000 MWh, 270 devices with an array CAPEX of $540,260,052 and an array OPEX of $39,959,207 would result in an LCOE of $722/MWh.
The TidGen Power System generates emission-free electricity from tidal currents and connects directly into existing grids using smart grid technology. The power system consists of three major subsystems: shore-side power electronics, mooring system, and turbine generator unit (TGU) device. This submission includes a summary presentation as an overview of the BP1 report for the Advanced TidGen Project.
This submission contains links to Geothermal Areas on OpenEI that were completed as part of an effort to gather clean, unbiased information on which to build geothermal drilling prospects. The specific areas that were part of this focused effort, or *case studies*, are linked individually, and also available for download as a table in CSV format. The Geothermal Areas exist live on OpenEI and are constantly evolving with updated information. Snapshots of both the specific case study areas and of all geothermal areas on OpenEI, from the time of submission, have been included in CSV format. For the most up-to-date information, please use the provided **All Geothermal Areas** link to view these on OpenEI. This dataset also includes a link to the Geothermal Exploration Overview page on OpenEI, which provides exhaustive detail on the activities cataloged for these case studies and their references, as well as the technologies employed in each geothermal area.
This project aims to enhance survivability of a multi-mode point absorber. Included in this submission are content models providing a system definition and baseline LCOE calculations.
This submission includes an Electricity Generation Summary, Maintenance Logs, Detailed Operations Data, Operating Cost Summary, and an Operations overview at the Paisley Oregon Geothermal Plant. Data uploaded for SVEC by Tom Williams, NREL
