DOE awarding $35M to 11 projects for hydrokinetic turbine development; ARPA-E SHARKS

Green Car Congress

Projects are encouraged to apply concurrent (as opposed to sequential) design methodologies: control co-design, co-design, and designing for operation and maintenance. The multi-disciplinary nature and challenges of HKT design requires expertise from a range of scientific and engineering fields working together concurrently.
