DOE OE 2021 Strategy White Papers on Microgrids: Program Vision, Objectives, and R&D Targets in 5 and 10 years–Topic Area #1

Ferreira, Summer R.; Baggu, Murali; Bent, Russell; Heleno, Miguel; King, Tom; Schneider, Kevin; Singh, Ravindra; Donde, Vaibhav

This white paper describes the program vision, objectives, and R&D targets in 5 to 10 years for the Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Electricity (OE) Microgrid R&D Program. The vision is to facilitate the nation’s transitions to (1) a more resilient and reliable, (2) more decarbonized electricity infrastructure, in which (3) microgrids have a reduced cost to implement. This strategy is developed in the context that the United States’ electricity delivery system is becoming more distributed in nature. The electricity generation capacity in 10 years may be 30-50% distributed energy assets.

Strategic Petroleum Reserve Enhanced Monitoring Compendium (FY 2022)

Moriarty, Dylan M.

The Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) is the world's largest supply of emergency crude oil. The reserve consists of four sites in Louisiana and Texas. Each site stores crude in deep, underground salt caverns. It is the mission of the SPR's Enhanced Monitoring Program to examine all available data to inform our understanding of each site. This report discusses the monitoring data, processes, and results for each of the four sites for fiscal year 2022.

Atomically Precise Ultra-High Performance 2D MicroElectronics

Mendez Granado, Juan P.; Gao, Xujiao; Misra, Shashank; Owen, James; Randall, John; Kirk, Wiley

Zyvex Labs has created several p-n junction devices with a variety of gaps between the boron and phosphorus electrodes, from 0-7.7 nm, which are now being measured. We have developed a different contacting process based on palladium disilicide rather than aluminium to improve the reliability of the device contacts. Preliminary measurements indicate that these new contacts are successfully contacting the buried dopant layers, which are intact after the overgrowth process. Modelling of the p-n junction properties has made good progress, with the model matching previous published data, and modelling of n-p-n junction devices has begun. This now awaits experimental validation.

FY22 Proxy App Suite Release

Cook, Jeanine; Aaziz, Omar R.; Vaughan, Courtenay T.; Alexeev, Yuri; Balakrishnan, Ramesh; Fletcher, Graham; Junghans, Christoph; Kim, Youngdae; Liber, Nevin; Liu, Geng; Lund, Amanda; Mayagoitia, Alvaro; Mc Corquodale, Peter; Pavel, Robert; Ramakrishnaiah, Vinay

The FY22 Proxy App Suite Release milestone includes the following activities: Curate a collection of proxy applications that represents the breadth of ECP applications, including application domains, programming models, supporting libraries, numerical methods, etc. Identify gaps in coverage and work with application teams to commission or develop proxies to cover gaps. From within this collection, designate the ”ECP Proxy Application Suite” of 10–15 proxies that balance breadth of coverage with ease of use and quality of implementation. Also designate approximately 6–10 proxies to form the “ECP Machine Learning Proxy Suite”. The ML suite will represent algorithms, use cases, and programming methods typically used by ECP science workloads to incorporate machine learning into their workflows.

Designing Resilient Communities: Hardware demonstration of resilience nodes concept

Reno, Matthew J.; Ropp, Michael E.; Tamrakar, Ujjwol; Darbali-Zamora, Rachid; Broderick, Robert J.

As part of the project “Designing Resilient Communities (DRC): A Consequence-Based Approach for Grid Investment,” funded by the United States (US) Department of Energy’s (DOE) Grid Modernization Laboratory Consortium (GMLC), Sandia National Laboratories (Sandia) is partnering with a variety of government, industry, and university participants to develop and test a framework for community resilience planning focused on modernization of the electric grid. This report provides a summary of the section of the project focused on hardware demonstration of “resilience nodes” concept.

North Slope Alaska and Tethered Balloon Systems: ARM Facilities Monthly Status Update

Whitson, Maria G.; Glen, Andrew; Dexheimer, Darielle N.; Helsel, Frederick M.; Cook, Raeann L.; Sparks, Valerie; Woolever, Tracy A.

In support of the DOE Office of Science, Sandia National Labs is one of nine national laboratories which oversees the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Program. The Sandia ARM team has an obligation to fulfill its mission to provide the nation with data to improve the understanding of climate processes and the representation of those processes in climate models. Sandia’s ARM team’s ability to provide detailed and accurate descriptions of the Earth’s atmosphere in diverse climate regimes assists the DOE in development of sustainable solutions to the nation’s energy and environmental challenges. Sandia Labs manages ARM atmospheric facilities along the North Slope of Alaska (NSA) at Utqiagvik as well as the Tethered Balloon System (TBS). Activities conducted at NSA and with the TBS aide in data collection for the ARM data archive. An overview of these activities for the month of December follows.

Opportunities for Improvement in FRMAC's Assessment Method for Ingestion of Contaminated Crops

Farrar, David R.

This report provides recommendations to improve the assessment method of the Federal Radiological Monitoring and Assessment Center (FRMAC) for the ingestion of crops contaminated with radionuclides. The current FRMAC method of calculating investigation levels (ILs) and crop derived response levels (DRLs) is detailed. Recommended modifications to these calculations are presented based on the following aspects: handling radionuclide mixtures, no immediate equilibrium, washing of contaminated crops, and updated dietary intake rates.
