This Fourth Amended Determination follows a change to field testing locations and project partners to support the project team's small-scale research and development activities to finalize, test, and validate their full-scale 160 kilowatt (kW) tidal turbine, currently in development under the Submarine Hydrokinetic and Riverine Kilo-Megawatt Systems (SHARKS) program.
This Amended Determination follows the approval of additional funding, period of performance, removal of teaming partners, and new project milestones to include the development of three additional Substation in a Cable for Adaptable, Low-cost Electrical Distribution (SCALED) alternating current (AC) to AC cells in addition to the development of four direct current (DC) to DC SCALED cells already in progress, with a goal to create a cohesive, all-in-one structure to replace bulky, inflexible power substations in the electrical grid.
