Grant Description: NOTE: This descriptive area provides an overview of Technical Topic Area 1A only. YOU MUST READ THE FUNDING OPPORTUNITY ANNOUNCEMENT DOCUMENT FOR DETAILS ON ADDITIONAL INFORMATION, EVALUATION CRITERIA AND HOW TO PREPARE AN APPLICATION UNDER AN AREA OF INTEREST. Please scroll to the bottom of this page to access the Funding Opportunity Announcement. Development of Robust Sensor Networks for Intelligent Control of Advanced Coal Based Power Generation Systems (DE-PS26-06NT42751-1A) A critical component of the process control and monitoring system is the input provided from instrumentation and sensors. With the evolution of new sensors, embedded intelligence capabilities, and communication platforms, opportunities exist for the development and design of robust and intelligent sensor networks that enable the application of advanced control methodologies. Applications for sensor network development that consider one or more of the following are of interest: 1. Use of harsh environment physical and chemical sensors as well as those that operate at more benign conditions to provide real time diagnostic options, 2. Integration of new sensor technologies with smart sensing capabilities, 3. Evaluation of wireless networks for system optimization and plant life extension, 4. Incorporation of standardized communication platforms to increase industry acceptance, 5. Examination of new approaches to regulatory emission monitoring as compared to current practices, and 6. Target systems or subsystems within an advanced power plant to focus development efforts (e.g. gasification, advanced combustion, turbines, and fuel cells).
