- Description
- concerns to the national laboratories. The subcontractor will maintain an ongoing dialogue with electricity stakeholders, both in the targeted sectors and in other stakeholder sectors, in attempts to facilitate their awareness and eventual acceptance of HTS in their operations. This dialogue shall be carried out by paper mailings, electronic mailings, visits, and other tools as the situations warrant. 1D. The subcontractor will issue via e-mail a periodic "HTS Update" newsletter. The frequency of the e-mailing will be approximately once a month. The newsletter will complement the information provided via normal channels (viz., the trade press, including Superconductor Week newsletter) and will be directed in particular to organizations and individuals who are not directly involved in producing products using superconductors. Such groups might include the environmental community, engineering societies, utility architect-engineering firms, and public and investor-owned utilities. 2. Analysis 2A. The subcontractor will research and produce a report assessing the monetary value of non-energy efficiency benefits should high-temperature superconducting devices enter the commercial marketplace. Such non-energy benefits include, but may not be limited to: -removal of oil from power transformers -overloadability of power transformers without loss of transformer life -value of fault-current limiter function on HTS power transformer -3-5 times the energy through the same sized duct under a city street (HTS cables) -elimination of forced oil cooling of underground cables -enhanced electrical characteristics of HTS generators -enhanced security of the nation's power grid -tradable environmental credits -fault current limiter non-energy benefits -flywheel non-energy benefits 2B. The subcontractor will update and enhance the report found on the ORNL website http//www.ornl.gov/HTSC/roadreports.htm "Draft - Analysis of Future Prices and Markets for High Temperature Superconductors (September 2001)" to incorporate a market penetration feedback loop. That is, the spreadsheet will be reviss Technical Project officer (TPO) identified in the subcontract. Five copies are required unless otherwise noted. 1. Monthly Progress Reports After issuance of an initial award, Seller must submit a satisfactory, letter-type progress report on a monthly basis. Reports should contain the following information: on the first page, provide the project title, principal investigator/project director's name, period of time report covers, name and address of Seller, Company award number, the amount of unexpended funds, if any, that are anticipated to be left at the end of the current budget period, and if the amount exceeds 10 percent of the funds available for the budget period, provide information as to why the excess funds are anticipated to be available and how they will be used in the next budget period. A highlights page should provide an executive summary of the technical progress made since the last reporting period. The report should then state whether the aims have changed from the original proposal and if they have, provide revised aims. Include in the body of the report the results of work to date, delineated by task. Emphasize findings and their significance to the field, and any real or anticipated problems. Inclusion of figures is encouraged. A completed budget page must be submitted with the progress report when a change to anticipated future costs will exceed 25 percent of the original proposal. 2 . Final Report A final report summarizing the entire project must be submitted within 90 days after completion of research. Satisfactory completion of an award will be contingent upon the receipt of this report. The final report shall follow the same outline as a monthly progress report. Mas best interests, the institutions and the authors to publish their own reports in established scientific and technical journals. The Company reserves the right to use, and have others use, to the extent it deems appropriate, the reports resulting from Company awards. The Company may waive the technical reporting requirement of any monthly report if, with Company prior approval, the Seller submits to the Company a copy of its own report which is published or accepted for publication in a recognized scientific or technical journal and which satisfies the information requirements of the program. Under no circumstances will the requirements for a final report be waived. Also, three copies of topical reports, reprints, conference papers, etc., must be submitted to the Company Technical Project Officer as soon as possible after the event occurs and with the renewal application. 4. Annual Performance and Results Review Seller may be asked to present the results of its project at the Annual DOE Peer Review of Projects for the Superconductivity Program for Electric Power. The meeting is held in Washington, D.C., in July or August of each year, and is open to the public. A review committee of not less than 3 (three) members, drawn primarily from national laboratories, industry, and federal agencies, will review technical progress of the Seller by task, and will also review proposed plans for the next year's tasks, if proposed. Proceedings from the meeting will be published. 5. Company Review of Funded Projects The Company or its authorized representatives may make site visits at any reasonable time, to review a project. The Company may provide such technical assistance as may be requested. NOTE: THIS NOTICE WAS NOT POSTED TO FEDBIZOPPS.GOV ON THE DATE INDICATED IN THE NOTICE ITSELF (14-JAN-2002). IT ACTUALLY FIRST APPEARED ON THE FEDBIZOPPS SYSTEM ON 03-MAR-2003. PLEASE CONTACT fbo.support@gsa.gov REGARDING THIS ISSUE.
