Key information from reference documents and guides (e.g.) or succinct descriptions of concepts (e.g. what is risk and how do I visualize it)
Collaborative Supplemental Projects EPRI participants can engage EPRI with supplemental projects. When a company funds EPRI annual research, 25% of the funds are set aside as self-directed funds (SDF). Utilities can use this to fund supplemental projects. Please contact your METT for more information on how supplemental project funds are allocated in your utility.
Implementation Opportunities
Supplemental projects can also be one-on-one efforts. Companies allocate their self-directed funds in different ways. Options for these projects can include:
- Field pilots of technologies
- Integration of research results
- Test specific equipment or scenarios
Examples related to current research could include:
- Full-scale structure testing, mechanical or electrical
- Comparative aging performance
Services and Capabilities
EPRI has many capabilities available to utilities as part of research work, supplemental projects, or service agreements. A selection of these include:
- Arc-flash testing
- Forensics and material analysis
- Mechanical and electrical testing of full-scale composite structures
