A nationwide survey, conducted by the Energy R and D Inventory at Oak Ridge National Laboratory from September 1977 to April 1978, obtained information on over 14,800 energy and energy-related R and D projects in progress during the period from 1976 through 1978. Over 7,000 of these projects are concerned with research and development on advanced energy technologies and energy conservation. General information and statistical summary tables of funding and manpower are provided in this publication for each of these selected projects. Some information on all 14,800 projects is available on the Department of Energy's RECON (Remote Console) computer system. The inventory does not include fossil and nuclear research. Each of the 7,339 research project descriptions is listed in one of three volumes. This volume, Vol. I, compiles summaries of R and D in the following areas: solar and wind energy, geothermal energy, and hydro and tidal power (tidal power plants and wave energy converters). (MCW)
