On-Site Speaker (Planned) Joshua Burgess
Abstract Scope Production of energy generation components weighing 10+ tons frequently involves overseas supply chains and long lead times, complicating new plant construction and refurbishment. The U.S. Department of Energy-funded Rapid RUNNERS project is addressing this challenge by developing methods for additive manufacture of hydropower components. The team is leveraging wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) technologies into a research, development, deployment, and demonstration (RDD&D) project centered on economics-informed process and system co-design to enable production of 3,000+ lb and 90,000+ lb hydropower runners for project partner Tennessee Valley Authority. An overview of the Rapid RUNNERS project is provided, along with a discussion of key R&D areas necessary to enable production of massive energy components. Impacts to industry within hydropower and the broader energy sector are discussed from the standpoint of TVA.
