DOE to Provide Funding for National Grid Management EffortsThe Department of Energy has recently earmarked $5.8M to fund research and development initiatives in a bid to design technologies aiming to boost the resilience of the nation’s power grid. 

The DOE said Tuesday the funding opportunity announcement, which supports the department’s Office of Electricity Transmission Reliability program, seeks to invest in applications that leverage artificial intelligence, machine learning and big data platforms to secure grid and grid sensor health.

Specifically, the DOE will provide funding allocation to support projects that aim to create tools and mechanisms that sustain grid analytics and scaling; grid asset management and automated controls that can help system operators prevent grid outages, maintain operations and address costs.

Interested private sector parties may submit proposals until Nov. 9.

NOAA Taps Raytheon for NEON Stratus Project Study

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has tapped Raytheon for a mission design and feasibility study on weather imagery capabilities under its Near Earth Orbit Network, or NEON, Stratus project.  The company will conduct the Stratus critical design review study under an other transaction agreement NOAA signed with Raytheon valued about $5.9 million, the agency said Friday. Raytheon’s CDR study will focus on a U.S. Space Force design adapted to NOAA’s requirements for Stratus. Under NEON, low-Earth orbit environmental satellites will be launched for weather forecasting, environmental observation and public safety. The program also seeks to demonstrate faster data delivery
