The Jumpstart Opportunities to Unleash Leadership in Energy Storage with 1K Energy Storage Systems (JOULES-1K) Phase 2 Program (previously Pioneering Railroad, Oceanic and Plane ELectrification with 1K energy storage systems [PROPEL-1K]) consists of projects chosen from Phase 1 of the JOULES-1K program which show the most promise of developing novel energy storage to support drones, robots, Electrical Vertical Take-Off and Landing (eVTOL) aircraft, and other applications that would benefit from ultra-high-density storage systems.
This Third Amended Determination follows the approval of additional funding, an extended period of performance, a change of teaming partners, and new project milestones to support the project team's small-scale research and development activities of developing an energy storage and power generation (ESPG) system consisting of fuel-to-electric power conversion devices, metal-supported solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC) and turbogenerators, in progress under the Range Extenders for Electric Aviation with Low Carbon and High Efficiency (REEACH) Phase 2 Program.
