RFI: Expanding Hydropower and Pumped Storage's Contribution to Grid Resiliency and Reliability: Complete information, including the Request for Information (RFI), can be found on the EERE Exchange website - https://eere-exchange.energy.gov. 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. Responses to this RFI must be submitted electronically to [email protected] no later than 5:00pm (ET) on April 6, 2018. Responses must be provided as attachments to an email. Complete information, including the RFI, can be found on the EERE Exchange website - https://eere-exchange.energy.gov.
