You might remember in the web cast Coretec mentioned November 7 2022 as a date to start learning about the DOE SBIR/STTR funding , that lines up with the dates here so this must be one funding source Coretec is looking at . Award date you will see is May 15th 2023 . If you scroll way down to the heading highlighted it lines up with what appears to be what Coretec would be involved in . There also a grid R&D program right before this one as well that's listed under Advanced grid tech but I think the second one is what Coretec is after.They said it would be 200 PH 1 and 1.1 million PH2
C56-09. ADVANCED POWER CONVERSION SYSTEM FOR GRID-TIED ENERGY STORAGE & ENERGY STORAGE DEPLOYMENT
The widespread adoption of grid-tied energy storage systems continues to grow, especially due to increasing deployment of renewable energy such as photovoltaic and wind energy systems. Grid-tied energy storage systems add valuable functionality such as renewable firming, frequency regulation, power quality enhancement, and dynamic stability support. Grid storage will ultimately improve the reliability, flexibility, security, and quality of the existing electricity infrastructure in both grid-tied and off-grid systems. The enabling technology that is crucial to these applications is the power conversion system (PCS). The power conversion system controls the power supplied and absorbed from the grid to energy storage device performance while maintaining grid stability. Critical electrical components used in PCS are semiconductors, magnetics such as transformers and inductors, and capacitors. With the advances in wide bandgap semiconductor devices such as SiC and GaN, new topologies for PCSs are emerging due to their high switching frequency, high junction temperature, and high breakdown voltage capabilities.
Energy storage is a key technology needed to maintain reliability and resource adequacy as the electrical grid transitions to increasing amounts of renewable energy, distributed energy resources, and electrification. While energy storage technologies have seen an increasing number of commercial deployments across a both stationary and transportation-based sectors, the global market for storage capacity is expected to grow
