Asia Pacific Research Inititative for Sustainable Energy Systems 2016 (APRISES16)
Abstract
The work proposed in this document continues to emphasis on development of resilient, secure microgrids; and new a new exploratory task focused on low-energy water purification. The proposed work comprises seven major tasks summarized briefly, below:Task 1: ~Outreach and Project Management~ funds HNEI management activities of the in-houseresearch and external subcontractors~ work. This task continues efforts to build collaborationswith other US Department of Defense organizations such as Navy Facilities EngineeringCommand (NAVFAC) and with technology partners throughout the Asia Pacific region.Task 2 ~Emerging Energy Technologies~ continues research to understand and develop costeffectivefuel cells and battery systems; support of hydrogen production and fueling technologyand development of low-cost thin film solar materials and initiates research to develop low energywater purification systems; continues support of; and continues the.Task 3 ~Biorenewable Resources~ focuses on research supporting the development and use ofbiorenewable resources to serve Navy needs, including fuels and fuels storage, waste treatment,and novel materials.Task 4 ~Methane Hydrates~ continues to investigate seafloor hydrate reservoirs as an energyresource and potential environmental hazard.Task 5 ~Secure Microgrids~ will continue testing and integration of technology solutionspromoting the development and use of smart, secure microgrids that seamlessly integrate highlevels of renewable energy. This task builds on coordination with NAVFAC and other Asia Pacificcommunities to continue transition of these solutions to the marketplace, including US Departmentof Defense (DOD) applications.Task 6 ~Ocean Energy~ continues efforts to develop and demonstrate long-term performance oflow-cost heat exchanger systems for marine applications, including Ocean Thermal EnergyConversion (OTEC); and supports de elopement of high resolution circulation modeling as aresource for implementation of ocean-based energy production in Hawaii.Task 7 ~Energy Efficiency~ expands on previous technology development efforts to improveenergy efficiency in naturally ventilated and mixed mode buildings in tropical and sub-tropicalclimates. A planning and optimization study is proposed to assess electrified transportation tosupport personnel traveling between DOD bases and University of Hawaii Campuses.
