The Department of Energy is seeking information through a Request for Information (RFI) to improve the efficiency, reliability, and flexibility of existing coal-fueled power plants. They are interested in gathering insights for advanced technologies in three key areas: Efficiency Improvements, Enhancements to Reliability, Availability, and Maintainability (RAM), and Improved Operational Flexibility. The goal is to inform future research and development programs that can elevate the performance of the nation’s coal-fueled electricity generating units. Note that this RFI is solely for information purposes and not for accepting grant applications.

| Description: | The purpose of this Request for Information (RFI) is to seek information from coal-fueled power plant owners, operators, equipment manufacturers, architect-engineers, and other stakeholders about Research and Development (R&D) activities that could lead to development of advanced technologies for existing coal-fueled electricity generating units (EGUs) that could improve the overall performance, reliability, and flexibility of the nation’s existing fleet of coal-fueled EGUs. Specifically, the DOE FE program is interested in gathering information relevant to three technical areas. These areas include: (1) – Advanced technologies for Efficiency Improvements at Full- and/or Part-Load Operations; (2) – Advanced technologies for Improvements to EGU Reliability, Availability, and Maintainability (RAM); and (3) – Advanced technologies for Improved Operational Flexibility. The intent of gathering information in these three technical areas is to inform the development of targeted R&D program to develop technologies that can be applied across the existing fleet of coal-fueled EGUs.
This is solely a request for information and is not a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA). U.S. DOE is not accepting applications to this RFI. |
