项目摘要
This Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site at Florida Atlantic University (FAU) will tackle science and engineering challenges associated with producing electrical power from marine renewable energy resources. It builds upon a previously funded REU Site and will immerse three cohorts of undergraduate scholars in exciting research experiences that tackle diverse and impactful projects. Most projects will focus on ocean current based electricity production, with others focusing on tidal power or marine microbial fuel cells. Ocean currents represent an untapped energy source with a technically feasible electrical power production potential of 19 GW in the U.S. and time averaged energy densities reaching 3.3 kW/m2, several times greater than the most energy dense U.S. wind resource. While some prototype and experimental ocean current turbine (OCT) testing has been performed, several technical hurtles related to 1) resource assessment, 2) system design and operation and 3) environmental impacts must be addressed before commercial utility-scale power can be captured for the U.S. electrical grid in a safe, economical and environmentally conscious manner. Student projects are designed to address these three barriers to help enable economically viable renewable power production, and undergraduate scholars will be guided through their projects by experienced mentors. Student research experiences will be enhanced through a comprehensive series of professional development activities. Recruitment and selection procedures will ensure this program engages a diverse demographic which includes women, under-represented minorities and veterans, to ensure future professionals in the marine renewable energy industry bring a wide spectrum of perspectives and solutions. FAU’s REU Site will work closely with its U.S. Department of Energy-designated Southeast National Marine Renewable Energy Center (SNMREC). Projects will engage students in science and engineering topics to achieve a balanced understanding of three key focus areas: resource assessment, system design and reliability, and environmental impacts. REU Scholars will be integrated into existing research groups, will be personally advised by FAU Faculty members and senior researchers, and will access state-of-the-art facilities and platforms for their projects. Ocean current resource assessment science will be advanced by 1) improving oceanic flow modeling techniques, 2) developing novel autonomous underwater vehicle measurement techniques, and 3) advancing open ocean turbulence measurement capabilities. Projects related to system design and operation will focus on increasing energy extraction and reducing equipment failures by 1) advancing ocean current turbine flight control theory, 2) developing and experimentally evaluating applied ocean current turbine flight controllers, 3) looking to biology for innovative tidal power production solutions, 4) evolving marine renewable energy turbine health monitoring solutions, 5) advancing shark skin inspired biofouling solutions, and 6) creating benthic microbial fuel cells for remote sensing applications. Projects designed to understand and minimize potential environmental impacts include: 1) advancing passive acoustic animal detection through the advancement of expandable hydrophone arrays, 2) assessing animal strike risks through sea turtle swimming/migration studies, and 3) quantifying the impact of ElectroMagnetic Fields (EMF) emitted by ocean current equipment on elasmobranchs. Each year ten of these twelve projects will be conducted by REU Scholars.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
佛罗里达大西洋大学(FAU)的本科生研究体验(REU)网站将解决与利用海洋可再生能源生产电力相关的科学和工程挑战。它建立在以前资助的REU网站上,并将使三批本科生学者沉浸在令人兴奋的研究经验中,以解决不同和有影响力的项目。大多数项目将专注于基于洋流的电力生产,其他项目将专注于潮汐发电或海洋微生物燃料电池。洋流代表着一种未开发的能源,在美国技术上可行的电力生产潜力为19GW,时间平均能量密度达到3.3kW/m2,是美国能源密度最高的风能资源的几倍。虽然已经进行了一些原型和实验海流涡轮机(OCT)测试,但在以安全、经济和环保的方式为美国电网捕获商业公用事业规模的电力之前,必须解决与1)资源评估、2)系统设计和运行以及3)环境影响相关的几个技术难题。学生项目旨在解决这三个障碍,以帮助实现经济上可行的可再生能源生产,本科生学者将在经验丰富的导师的指导下完成他们的项目。学生的研究经验将通过一系列全面的专业发展活动来加强。招募和遴选程序将确保该项目吸引包括女性、代表性不足的少数族裔和退伍军人在内的多样化人群,以确保未来海洋可再生能源行业的专业人员带来广泛的视角和解决方案。FAU的REU站点将与其美国能源部指定的东南国家海洋可再生能源中心(SNMREC)密切合作。项目将使学生参与科学和工程主题,以实现对三个关键重点领域的平衡理解:资源评估、系统设计和可靠性以及环境影响。REU学者将被整合到现有的研究小组中,将由FAU教员和高级研究人员亲自提供建议,并将为他们的项目使用最先进的设施和平台。洋流资源评估科学将通过1)改进海洋流动模拟技术,2)开发新的自主水下航行器测量技术,3)提高公海湍流测量能力,来促进洋流资源评估科学的发展。与系统设计和运行相关的项目将侧重于通过1)发展洋流涡轮机飞行控制理论,2)开发和实验评估应用的洋流涡轮机飞行控制器,3)寻找创新的潮汐发电生产解决方案的生物学,4)发展海洋可再生能源涡轮机健康监测解决方案,5)改进鲨鱼皮生物污垢解决方案,以及6)创造用于遥感应用的海底微生物燃料电池,从而增加能量提取和减少设备故障。旨在了解和尽量减少潜在环境影响的项目包括:1)通过发展可扩展的水听器阵列来推进被动声动物探测,2)通过海龟游泳/迁徙研究来评估动物受到伤害的风险,以及3)量化洋流设备发出的电磁场对棘鳃类的影响。每年这12个项目中的10个将由REU学者进行。这个奖项反映了NSF的法定使命,并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估,被认为值得支持。
