This Department of Energy (DOE) grant, offered collaboratively by the Office of Electricity (OE) and the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy’s Wind Energy Technologies Office (EERE WETO), is designed to advance high voltage direct current (HVDC) power circuit breaker technology. The REIMAGINE BREAKERS initiative directly addresses a critical gap in HVDC PCB protection by supporting the development of essential technical standards. Additionally, it encourages the exploration of innovative concepts aimed at reducing both the cost and physical footprint of HVDC PCB technology. This grant is for the purpose of enhancing the integration of renewable energy sources into the national grid by improving the reliability and efficiency of key infrastructure. Please note, this announcement serves as a Notice of Intent, and the DOE is not currently accepting applications.
