A link to the webinar will be available at ********************************************* Project Descriptions Analysis of bottlenecks to scaling advanced nuclear for commercial maritime applications Afloat power systems will serve as a source of affordable, reliable, and secure power to locations afflicted by extreme weather, war, etc.; they will also support critical infrastructure like data centers and ports. As the commercial maritime industry pushes to derisk advanced nuclear, what technology areas should ARPA-E prioritize in future programs to expedite the scaleup and employment? The Summer Scholar will review literature and interview stakeholders to determine what technology gaps are restricting/limiting the employment of advanced nuclear for maritime applications. Outcomes: * Summary of domestic maritime nuclear efforts and challenges to integrating advanced nuclear * Suggestions for future technology development at ARPA-E Attributing and quantifying impacts from broader effects related to ARPA-E technologies ARPA-E tracks impact indicators, such as companies formed from ARPA-E-funded projects, follow-on funding raised by companies, patents, and company exits. How do ARPA-E's advancements catalyze the development of companies beyond those funded by ARPA-E? Likewise, are there ARPA-E outputs which shift focus and realignment in a field or create completely new fields, that lead to additional public and private investment beyond the ARPA-E funded projects? The Summer Scholar will review past ARPA-E programs and impacts, and assess their market penetration, and quantify the broader effects attributable to ARPA-E. Outcome: * Analysis that identifies processes and methods to quantify the broader effects of ARPA-E technologies that strengthen American energy dominance, including fulfillment of ARPA-E's statutory mission to improve energy efficiency, establish independent supply chains for energy resources, reduce emissions, bolster infrastructure, and improve radioactive waste management. Demand analysis for batteries having 1 kwh/kg and/or 1 kwh/l of energy density, to include unmanned systems and aviation markets ARPA-E's JOULES Program is developing energy storage solutions to deliver 1 kwh/kg and/or 1 kwh/l of energy density for transportation systems. The market benefits of these solutions are generally understood, but a technoeconomic analysis will serve beachhead markets. The Summer Scholar will assess electric aircraft and unmanned systems markets (drones, etc.) for opportunity and cost benefit to integrate JOULES technologies. Outcomes: * Technoeconomic analysis of markets for highly energy dense storage solutions, applicable to electric aircraft and drone markets * Recommendations for additional technology development at ARPA-E Analysis of availability, feasibility and cost-benefit of nanofluids for increased heat transfer efficiency (NOTE: THIS PROJECT IS NOT CURRENTLY AVAILABLE) Novel nanofluids in heat transfer applications could drastically improve thermal efficiency and reduce energy demand. The availability, opportunity, and cost-benefit to integrate these nanofluids, however, is not well documented. The Summer Scholar will assess feasibility, benefit, and cost to apply nanofluids in working fluids to increase the efficiency of heat transfer applications. The analysis will identify high impact markets, applications, and determine where nanofluids will have the greatest return on investment. Outcome: * Summary of the nanofluid market and comprehensive cost-benefit analysis * Recommendation for disruptive research in thermal efficiency Assessment of ARPA-E funded technologies and processes to optimize synthetic fuel production in remote/austere locations The Department of War is investigating methods to synthesize drop-in fuels to support ships, aircraft, and forces in remote environments.
