CABLE Big Idea RDD&D Workshop (Workshop Summary Report)
The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Advanced Manufacturing Office (AMO) held the CABLE Big Idea RDD&D Workshop April 7–9, 2021. The virtual workshop brought together approximately 250 leading scientific and technical experts to gather information on the state of the art in conductivity-enhanced materials and their applications. These stakeholders included scientists, engineers, manufacturers, materials experts, utility companies, and other entities within the conductor material and electrical product manufacturing supply chains. The two main goals of the workshop were to 1) start building and strengthening a research ecosystem around conductivity-enhanced materials and 2) inform AMO’s future portfolio of research, development, demonstration, and deployment (RDD&D) investments and other program activities in the area of conductivity-enhanced materials. CABLE—or Conductivity-enhanced materials for Affordable, Breakthrough Leapfrog Electric and thermal applications—was was established as an Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy initiative as a result of a competitive internal process to identify and prioritize potentially high-impact research topics. Since then, conductivity-enhanced materials have been identified as an important element of the shift to an electrified and decarbonized industry sector, and CABLE remains a Big Idea. The CABLE effort is led by AMO and supported by eight other offices within DOE. The first major effort under CABLE was the development of several subtopics for DOE’s Small Business Innovation Research/Small Business Technology Transfer (SBIR/STTR) programs in 2020. Another major activity was the launch of the CABLE Conductor Manufacturing Prize in March 2021.
