Description
I. The purpose of this amendment is to make the following change:
Section V. APPLICATION REVIEW INFORMATION - B. Review and Selection Process - 2. Selection Process - Pre-Selection Clarification - Revise and provide additional information about the pre-selection clarification process (page 31).
II. All other parts of the FOA remain unchanged.
III. The areas which have changed are highlighted in yellow within the Funding Opportunity Announcement.
The objective of the Multidisciplinary University Research Initiative (MURI): High Operating Temperature Fluids (?HOT Fluids?) Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to support research into fluid materials development that will enable Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) systems to integrate with energy conversion devices capable of thermal to electric conversion efficiencies greater than 50%. DOE anticipates providing up to $10M in funding for up to 2 awardees to accomplish the goals of this funding opportunity. This FOA directly supports the goals of the Department of Energy?s Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, Solar Energy Technologies Program and the SunShot Initiative.
This FOA will take a MURI approach that ensures awardees bring together researchers from various technical backgrounds in order to achieve the discovery and a development of a liquid that is stable as a liquid from 0?C to 1300?C. This target must be achieved while also ensuring that the fluid has the necessary properties to be used in current CSP plant designs. Development of such a fluid will directly enable the achievement of the SunShot target of providing electricity generated by solar power at a cost of 6 cents per kilowatt hour (?/kWh).
The full Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is posted on the EERE eXCHANGE website at https://eere-exchange.energy.gov. Applications must be submitted through the EERE eXCHANGE website to be considered for award. The applicant must first register and create an account on the EERE eXCHANGE website. A user Guide for the EERE eXCHANGE can be found on the EERE website at: http://eere.energy.gov/financing/exchange/Manuals.aspx after logging in to the system.
Information on where to submit questions regarding the content of the announcement and where to submit questions regarding submission of applications is found in the full FOA posted on the EERE eXCHANGE website.
