This US Department of Energy (DOE) webinar will cover how the grid edge applies to a range of technologies, how these technologies work together, and how innovation at the grid edge can help keep costs affordable, while also increasing reliability and resilience for customers and the grid. This includes how the increase in electric vehicles and other end-use devices and an increasingly decentralized grid highlight the importance of the grid edge (i.e. where electricity distribution transitions between the energy utility and the end user).

This US Department of Energy (DOE) Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) seeks applicants for smart manufacturing across four topic areas. Topic 2 is Smart Manufacturing of Tooling and Equipment for Sustainable Transportation. For topic 2, "sustainable transportation refers to transitioning from traditional internal combustion engine-based vehicles to electric vehicles (based on either batteries or fuel cells across all vehicle types from automobiles to fleets to all truck classes) as selected by applicant. Successful projects would: (a) make tooling and equipment needed to produce applicant-selected key components of these vehicles faster and more economically through the application of smart manufacturing concepts, or (b) focus on reducing component defects and enabling new functionalities by means of smart manufacturing."
See FOA for full details and eligible applicants. FOA number: FE-FOA-0003329
