Title:
Model-Based Renewable Resource Risk Assessment Analysis and Simulation
Summary:
This project will combine leading model-based analysis capability and web-based renewable resource monitoring for development of a new operations management risk analysis, mitigation and visualization system. The new approach will be tested using full scale utility system models and data. The new system will be usable by itself at utilities with limited monitoring resources and as part of a fully integrated smart grid solution.

Title:
Chemical Free Surface Processing for High Gradient Superconducting RF Cavities
Summary:
This project will develop a new process that will enhance quality of the superconducing radio-frequency cavities and allow acceleration of charged particles to much higher energies. The process also will improve the cavity manufacturing and result in substantial cost reduction of superconducting radio-frequency high-energy particle accelerators.

Topic:
Fusion Science and Technology
Title:
Multi-Band Power Source for ITER Reflectometry
Summary:
This project will develop new technologies that are critical for the US contribution to the international ITER experiment, which will show that fusion can be used to generate useful electrical power. A unique millimeter-wave and terahertz technology will be extended to supply the high frequency power and frequency agility that is required for the ITER diagnostic instruments that are critical to understanding and controlling the burning plasma.
