laboratory for post irradiation
examination and failure root cause
analysis and 80 cans of spent fuel pool
sludge from the Taiwan Research
Reactor will be transferred to the hot
cell laboratory for stabilization. These
activities, in support of nuclear powerrelated research activities, are described
in the ‘‘Irradiated Fuels and Material
Research Program from 2014 to 2020,’’
dated October 2013 and in ‘‘Summary of

ACTION: Request for proposals.
AGENCY:
The U.S. Department of
Energy (DOE) requests proposals to
participate in the 2016 Collegiate Wind
Competition (Competition), which is
administered by the National Renewable
Energy Laboratory (NREL). DOE
anticipates the award of ten (10) firm
fixed price subcontracts under this
solicitation. The anticipated period of
performance is through July 31, 2016,
with a funding availability of $20,000
for each award. The Competition is
open to teams of undergraduate students
from two- and four-year institutions of
higher education.
DATES: The request for proposals was
issued on October 30, 2014 and is
available at wind.energy.gov/
windcompetition. Technical questions
must be received in writing to NREL by
November 13, 2014. Proposals must be
received by December 15, 2014. The
Competition event will be held in May,
2016. Dates are subject to change.
ADDRESSES: Interested persons can find
full details about the Competition
online at wind.energy.gov/

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Department of Energy Science
Education and Enhancement Act
(42 U.S.C. 7381b) authorizes the
Secretary to support competitive events
for students under the supervision of
teachers, designed to encourage student
interest and knowledge in science and
mathematics. DOE introduced the
Competition in 2014 for the purpose of
engaging the future workforce in wind
energy. NREL administers the
Competition for DOE.
The objective of the Competition is to
prepare students from multiple
disciplines to enter the wind energy
workforce. Currently, the wind industry
has shortages in key jobs such as
scientists, educators, design and
research engineers, technical workers,
and project managers. Wind-specific
advanced degrees are not required for
many of these jobs, but having wind
experience is of high importance. The
Competition is also aligned with the
central goals of DOE, which are to
catalyze the timely, material, and
efficient transformation of the nation’s
energy system, secure the United States’
leadership in clean energy technologies,
and maintain a vibrant domestic effort
in science and engineering as a
cornerstone of economic prosperity.
The 2016 Competition theme is to
design, construct, and develop a plan to
market a wind-driven power system,
which includes an off-grid load
supplied by the wind-driven power
generator. The load shall be designed to
perform useful work in an off-grid
environment, be easily transported to
the competition, tested safely and
cleanly in the Competition
environment, and provide a visual
indication of the instantaneous power
generated by the wind-driven power
system. This theme focuses on effective
electrical and electronic design of the
wind turbine for efficient and safe
control of the device, a load system that
can match the power being generated,
and an overall safe and reliable
mechanical and aerodynamic turbine
design. The Competition does not
prescribe a market or a wind regime.
The Competition consists of three
multi-faceted elements. The technical
element requires teams to design and
build a unique wind-driven power
system, develop and present the
technical designs to a panel of judges,
E:\FR\FM\04NON1.SGM
04NON1
65388
Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 213 / Tuesday, November 4, 2014 / Notices
and test the wind system against predetermined parameters in an on-site
wind tunnel. The second element of the
Competition is the creation and
presentation of a market researchsupported business plan that will be
used to develop the team’s technical
product into a marketable wind power
system. This plan will be presented
formally to a panel of judges and
informally pitched to a public audience.
The final element of the Competition
aims to familiarize students with the
siting, permitting, and planning process
associated with deployment of wind
power systems by requiring students to
identify a project site for their power
system, develop a plan to install their
system informed by siting constraints
and expected challenges at that location,
and present their well-researched
deployment strategy. The plan for
deployment shall be presented in a slide
show or poster.
Each Competition element will be
evaluated against a set of pre-weighted
objective and subjective criteria in both
closed-door and public settings.
Technical design and business plan
presentations to judge panels will be
closed-door and non-public. Teams’
market pitch and deployment strategy
presentations will be public and
attended by judges and other
Competition teams. Criteria and
weighting will be defined in the 2016
Rules and Requirements document,
which will be published in the spring of
2015. Refer to the 2014 Rules and
Requirements for examples of likely
content.
All dates are subject to change. For
