Grant Description: NOTE: This descriptive area provides an overview of Area of Interest 1 only. YOU MUST READ THE ENTIRE FUNDING OPPORTUNITY ANNOUNCEMENT DOCUMENT FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION, EVALUATION CRITERIA AND INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO PREPARE AN APPLICATION UNDER A SPECIFIC AREA OF INTEREST. Please scroll to the bottom of this page to access the Funding Opportunity Announcement. Area of Interest 1: Advanced Cooling Technology (DE-PS26-08NT00233-01) Research in this area is intended to develop technologies that improve performance and reduce costs associated with wet cooling, dry cooling, and hybrid cooling technologies. It is technically possible to cool power plants with minimal water withdrawal and consumption. However, at this time such cooling methods are not as economically feasible as traditional cooling systems. Additional research and development is necessary to develop cooling systems that use as little water as possible, but at a reasonable cost. To date, some examples of advanced cooling research include the following: pilot scale testing of a hybrid cooling technology; development of high thermal conductivity foam to be used in air-cooled steam condensers for power plants; evaluation of condensing technology applied to wet evaporative cooling towers; and development of scale-prevention technologies and novel filtration methods. Applications are sought to progress this technology area by expanding upon current and completed research or by investigating innovative research into cost effectively minimizing the amount of water withdrawn and consumed by power plant cooling systems.
