Flexible and Innovative Transformer Technologies (FITT)

RFP# and Website:

Description:

The Office of Electricity (OE) provides national leadership to ensure that the Nation’s

energy delivery system is secure, resilient, and reliable. OE works to develop new

technologies to enhance the infrastructure that brings electricity into our homes,

offices, and factories and to improve the federal and state electricity policies and

programs that shape electricity system planning and market operations. OE also

works to bolster the resiliency of the electric grid and assists with restoration when

major energy supply interruptions occur.

The Office of Cybersecurity, Energy Security, and Emergency Response (CESER)

mission is to strengthen the security and resilience of the U.S. energy sector from

cyber, physical, and climate-based risks and disruptions. CESER works to provide a

secure, reliable, and resilient energy sector for the American people by providing

policy and risk analysis; developing and implementing new and/or improved tools

and technologies; and performing Federal level emergency response coordination.

The Nation's sustained economic prosperity, quality of life, and global

competitiveness depend on access to an abundance of secure, reliable, and

affordable energy resources. Through a mix of technology and policy solutions, DOE

is addressing the changing dynamics and uncertainties in which the future electric

system will need to operate. DOE leverages effective partnerships, solid research,

and best practices to support diverse interests in achieving economic, societal, and

environmental objectives.

The objective of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to stimulate

innovative designs, prototypes, and field demonstration exercises for advanced

distribution and/or power transformers (e.g., flexible, modular, scalable, hybrid, and

solid-state transformers) that can be readily utilized across a range of distribution to

transmission scale applications.
