Power Generation: Renewable
| Sonoma Clean Power (SCP) is a Community Choice Aggregation (CCA) serving Sonoma and Mendocino Counties. SCP has started an initiative called the Geothermal Opportunity Zone (GeoZone) to build 600 MW of new geothermal capacity in the region through partnerships with Chevron New Energies, Cyrq Energy, and Eavor Inc. A key challenge to success in the GeoZone will be finding cost-effective and reliable approaches to interconnecting new generation capacity. The GeoZone is located over mountainous terrain that has a high wildfire risk and is frequently subject to public safety power shutoffs. Undergrounding gen-ties for new resources to substations with interconnection capacity would be ideal--allowing them to deliver through extreme weather events and minimize the impact to surrounding communities--but is currently cost prohibitive. SCP and its private partners would be very interested in opportunities to partner with GOPHURRS applicants in demonstrating new undergrounding technology that provides a cost-effective and lower risk path for interconnecting new renewables. |

Power Generation and Energy Production: Liquid and Gaseous Fuels/Nuclear
| LaValley Industries is an internationally recognized and award-winning engineering, research, and manufacturing firm. The company is focused on innovating the future of trenchless pipeline construction and material handling for the Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD), Direct Steerable Pipe Thrusting (DSTP), mining and utility tunneling industries. Market sectors include water, sewer, oil, gas, electrical distribution and alternatives. Our one-of-a-kind patented products are developed on the foundation of improving safety in underground construction equipment and are designed to perform multiple tasks concurrently thereby reducing project timelines, costs, and risk to personnel.
Our material handling equipment line allows precise load handling and placement without the need for a ground crew working in the vicinity of moving pipe, poles or road mats. These systems are modular in design and consist of a main head unit used with a variety of interchangeable arms. The main head mounts to any brand of excavator and the excavator’s auxiliary hydraulics then safely and efficiently power the system. The interchangeable arms are used to pick up pipe, poles, casings or road mats and securely lift, lower, rotate, and tilt the load under the total control of the operator. Arms can grip securely from an off-center position, allowing maximum control in areas with tight accessibility. All equipment is designed to work safely in any weather condition, including wind, mud, snow and ice.
In addition to the core line of equipment, LaValley Industries has recently unveiled its next-generation, fuel-efficient line of generators. These generators use patented smart power generation technology, to continually load-follow energy demands on the job site. This means that engine RPM incrementally self-adjusts to match load in any given moment, optimizing fuel consumption. Included with this launch is an innovative mud pump system, which has been specially designed and engineered to handle the rigors of HDD drill mud recycling. The system can handle particle sizes up to 5 inches with a robust internal liquid cooling system and flow rate of up to 1400 GPM at a discharge length of 250 feet. It has proven success on the job site during reaming, swabbing, and pipe pull operations.
Our capabilities include mechanical/electrical engineering, rapid prototyping, manufacturing, service and support. |

| NASTT is an engineering society of individuals, public organizations and private companies with strong beliefs in the practical, social and environmental benefits of trenchless technology.
Founded in 1990, NASTT represents more than 2,000 members who all promote better and more responsible ways to manage our underground infrastructure. NASTT’s mission is to advance trenchless technology and to promote its benefits for the public and the natural environment by increasing awareness and knowledge through technical information dissemination, research and development, education and training. NASTT strives to provide a representative voice for all sectors of the trenchless technology industry. For over 30 years, the all-volunteer members of NASTT have presented non-commercial information seminars and training about these “green alternative” engineering methods to North American communities.
What is Trenchless Technology?
Trenchless technology is a progressive civil engineering process for the installation, replacement or renewal of underground utilities with no or minimal excavation and surface disruption. These innovative methods have been utilized successfully for all underground utilities including water mains, storm and sanitary sewers, gas main, electrical and fiber optics conduits. When employed in urban areas, substantial benefits are realized including dramatically reduced disruption to vehicular and pedestrian traffic, to business activities, to residential areas, and to environmentally sensitive areas. Trenchless technologies are the premier crossing options for major roads, railways, waterways as well as natural or manmade structures. In most cases, trenchless techniques will demonstrate significant cost saving benefits for municipalities and utilities over traditional open trench methods. Recent advancements in robotics have allowed trenchless technologies to provide pipe condition diagnostics never before available permitting utility owners to more accurately identify infrastructure priorities.
How can NASTT make a difference?
As NASTT continues to grow and take on new challenges, it is important for our not-for-profit society to serve and support our diverse industry partners. We proudly represent municipalities and public utilities, consultants and engineers, manufacturers and suppliers, trenchless contractors, and academia. We would like to support this project through access to experts and information. |

| A key to industry acceptance of a new technology is extensive validation in field trials. The Powerline Conductor Accelerated Test facility (PCAT) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) is specifically designed to evaluate the performance and reliability of novel overhead conductors and conductor instrumentation under field conditions. The PCAT facility was developed by ORNL and the US Department of Energy (DOE) in 2003 as a test facility to evaluate the performance of novel overhead conductor designs. The objective of these novel conductors is to carry higher currents with the equivalent, or better, sag characteristics of existing conductors. PCAT has been used to successfully field test overhead conductors and conductor instrumentation to demonstrate and validate performance in a real-world environment either before or in conjunction with field trials. A big hurdle for utility acceptance of novel technologies is field evaluation, and PCAT provides performance validation through its real-world testing conditions, via which it is able to accelerate the aging of the conductor and test the lifetime. PCAT provides a high-power, heavily instrumented and controlled platform for performance testing of overhead conductors and conductor instrumentation. This includes collecting all the necessary information for overhead conductor characterization and characterization of whole systems, as well as splices and dead ends. The facility is part of a DOE effort to address growing demands for electric power at a time when existing transmission line capacity is nearing its limits. PCAT is also used to test advanced sensors and controls for overhead conductors. PCAT accommodates 2,400 ft of overhead test conductor in a loop arrangement across two 600 ft segments. The facility consists of five 161 kV-rated steel transmission poles that have extensive support to ensure mechanical stability, with two poles at each of the two dead ends and one in mid-span. The test line forms the load for the power supply by creating a loop and connecting its two ends to the two terminals of the power source. The power source is a controllable dc power supply that provides dc current up to 5,000 A. |

| The investigator’s background is in the application of non-invasive, non-destructive testing of the near-surface using seismic methods. The techniques include the applications of surface wave-based methods, for example the multi-channel analysis of surface waves (MASW), and full wavefield methods, for example full waveform inversion (FWI), for developing one-dimensional and two-dimensional models of the subsurface for engineering applications. Such applications include identifying engineering material properties of the subsurface (e.g., strength and stiffness) as well as identifying subsurface composition (e.g., depth to bedrock) and subsurface anomalies (e.g., underground cavities and boulders).
The investigator’s interest is in the application of full waveform methods for developing high-resolution three-dimensional models of the near-surface for engineering applications. More specifically, advancing the speed and reliability of near-surface imaging through the utilization of multi-sensor platforms, high performance computing, data-driven methods from artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), and emerging distributed sensing technology (e.g., distributed acoustic sensing (DAS)).
The investigator’s capabilities include ability to develop non-invasive, non-destructive images of the subsurface using seismic waves. A set of collaborators at Virginia Tech with expertise in tomographic imaging techniques in subsurface environments (i.e., mines), near-surface engineering site characterization using traditional and next generation systems, and probability uncertainty and risk quantification and mitigation techniques.

| A transition to renewable energy in the US will require significant electrical grid infrastructure additions on local, state, and national levels. This is driven by increasing electricity demand and changing supply location. The current grid and fiber data network cannot handle the increased demand due to rapidly growing data center electric demand (rapid growth of cloud-based services, crypto mining, etc.), the proliferation of bandwidth-intensive 5G, electrification in transportation and heating. Even if it could, the installation of utility scale solar/wind energy production will still require 100s of new transmission lines and related infrastructure. In addition to electricity supply; high speed internet, water/wastewater, and highway/railroad tunnel infrastructure will need to be added or replaced. Current technology to accomplish this is slow and costly in the best case. In the worst case, delays make cost and timeline unpredictable.
Rather than the typical hardened steel to break up the material, EarthGrid is producing tunnel boring technology that uses very high temperature plasma torches to achieve a spalling of rock/soil at the leading edge of the boring machine(see pictures below). The plasma spalls the rock/soil up to 100 times faster than current methods, at a cost savings of up to 90%.
We are developing superconductor power cables and related technologies (including long-distance dielectric liquid nitrogen-cooled cables) for our tunnels. Combined with our plasma tunneling & trenching capabilities, our technology and business model (private, merchant ownership of transmission & distribution lines) can radically transform the electric grid. We intend to solve renewable energy interconnection and transmission congestion problems while enabling a massive acceleration of deployment of solar, wind and other clean energy generation technologies.
EarthGrid cost and speed advantages for project completion are driven by:
More energy per unit area delivered by plasma (~30x more than current methods).
Decreased energy required for the spallation process vs traditional boring.
Avoided costly delays due to obstructions (5,000℃ plasma can cut through any geology or obstructions).
