Renewable Integration Management with Innovative High-Voltage Direct Current Power Circuit Breakers (REIMAGINE BREAKERS)
From US Department of Energy (DOE)
The Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy’s (EERE) Wind Energy Technologies Office (WETO) seeks applications to support R&D that will standardize the technical specifications of high voltage direct current circuit breakers (HV DCCB) as well as advance existing HV DCCB designs. HVDC is a key technology that can increase the electric grid’s capacity to receive, transmit, and deliver a large amount of energy from generation sources like wind, and it can be more efficient and reliable compared to today’s existing solutions.
