Sandia, through a partnership with several national laboratories and academic institutions, will lead two of the four topic areas awarded under the grant and will provide technical support in a third topic area. The topic areas are Supporting Research and Testing for Marine and Hydrokinetic Energy, Environmental Assessment and Mitigation Methods for Marine and Hydrokinetics Energy, Supporting Research and Testing for Hydropower, and Environmental Assessment and Mitigation Methods for Hydropower.
Sandia’s Wind and Water Power Technologies group will pursue a diverse research agenda in marine hydrokinetics (MHK) systems and will collaborate with Argonne and Oak Ridge national laboratories on conventional hydro power.
