Salt River Project and Arizona State University are teaming on $1.3 million in three-year grants to help further renewable energy research.
The grants, which are through the Conservation and Renewable Energy Collaboratory at ASU?s College of Technology and Innovation, will provide three researchers with $150,000 per year for three years.
Grant Smedley, SRP?s manager of environmental policy and innovation, said the grants are part of several the utility has backed in partnership with ASU, including ones with the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering.
Researchers Brad Rogers and Govindasamy Tamizhmani will receive two of the grants and a group with Arunachala Mada Kannan, Zihong Peng and Scott Pollat will share the third.
Rogers will use the funds in a research project investigating whether solar-assisted hot water systems can help homeowners use less electricity. The grant will have ASU develop a test facility with help from SRP.
Tamizhmani will use SRP?s photovoltaic solar systems to test for reliability through ASU?s Photovoltaic Reliability Laboratory.
The group project will investigate how to more accurately ascertain the states of charge and health of batteries used to store energy for renewable projects.
?The research environment at CTI is defined by the real-world challenges our industry partners face,? said Mitzi Montoya, vice provost and dean of CTI. ?The SRP-CREC grant program provides a platform for applied research through our faculty and facilities.?
