Exploratory Research Program. Final technical progress report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6472472
The purpose of the US DOE Institutional Support Program was to provide funding for an exploratory energy research program leading to the development of Hawaii's renewable energy resources. Many of the research projects supported by this grant were multidisciplinary in scope and included strong involvement by industry, the utilities, and local governments. Table 1 is a listing of the projects funded for each of the three years, while Table 2 lists projects funded from appropriations made by the Hawaii State Legislature to complement the DOE projects. These two programs represent a significant share of the research completed by the University of Hawaii faculty toward the development of Hawaii's renewable energy resources. An additional benefit derived from this grant was the encouragement and incentive provided to initiate academic programs related to the development of energy alternatives. Innovative course work on alternative energy systems, undergraduate options, and a Graduate Certificate Program (Attachment A) were developed to prepare and motivate our students toward energy-related careers.
