The Department of Energy (DOE), Office of Energy Efficiency & Renewable Energy (EERE), Wind and Water Power Program, is seeking applications from hydropower professionals to participate in the Hydropower Advancement Project (HAP) standard assessments activity.
The HAP standard assessments will identify opportunities to increase generation and value at existing hydropower facilities. Through this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), DOE will select teams to perform these standard assessments.
The selected teams will perform HAP standardized assessments as described herein and per the HAP documents associated with the standard assessments. The HAP documents are available at http://hydropower.ornl.gov/HAP/ and include the following:
1. Hydropower Technology Taxonomy (HTT)
2. Best Practices Catalog (BPC)
3. Assessment Manual
The selected teams will receive financial assistance in the form of a cooperative agreement and will complete HAP standardized assessments at five (5) or more hydropower facilities.
Assessment teams that are selected will be required to attend the HAP standard assessment training planned for October, 2012, and then to perform multiple HAP standard assessments as described in the FOA and per the HAP documents.
