Final Report (October 2024): University of Tennessee, Knoxville (UTK) contribution to: FusMatML: Machine Learning Atomistic Modeling for Fusion Materials Collaborative Project led by Dr. Aidan Thompson, Sandia National Laboratory
The rapid growth of the field of Machine Learning Inter-Atomic Potentials (MLIAP) has lead to a profusion of methods, all of which have some similarity to each other, but each also restricted to particular design choices, often arrived at in a rather ad hoc fashion. Beyond anecdotal evidence, and some benchmarking studies on specific problems, little progress has been made in developing design principles for MLIAPs. The goal of this project is to use machine learning, data science, and uncertainty quantification methods to optimize the design choices for MLIAP.

PACT Center: Perovskite PV Accelerator for Commercializing Technologies (Final Technical Report)
The Perovskite PV Accelerator for Commercializing Technologies (PACT) center was established in July 2021 as a national resource to accelerate the commercialization of perovskite photovoltaic (PV) technology in the United States. Since its inception, PACT has been led by Sandia National Laboratories (Sandia) in partnership with the National Laboratory of the Rockies (NLR), formerly known as NREL. From FY20-FY23, Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), CFV Labs, Black & Veatch (B&V), and the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) were part of the project team. LANL brought expertise in perovskite PV device designs and processing, CFV Labs (now GroundWork Renewables) provided initial indoor and outdoor measurement hardware technology, B&V led the initial effort on perovskite PV bankability, and EPRI worked on reviewing testing standards, identifying commercialization gaps, and helping to run PACT’s Industry Advisory Board, a group including representatives from commercial testing labs, independent engineering firms, insurance companies, state regulators, and electric utilities. To source perovskite PV module samples, PACT contracted with the University of North Carolina (UNC), the University of Toledo, the University of Washington, and SLAC/Stanford University to provide a steady stream of research-grade perovskite mini modules, enabling protocol development in advance of commercial module availability. The project period ran from July 1, 2021, through December 31, 2025, including a No Cost Extension. Starting in FY25, the project was continued as a Core Capability in the Lab Call portfolio and continues at a reduced budget with only Sandia and NLR as funded recipients. Notably, starting in FY25 PACT expanded its scope beyond MHP modules to accept all emerging PV mini module technologies for testing, including organic PV (OPV) and all-thin-film tandems, with the aim of supporting commercialization across the broader emerging PV ecosystem. With this change in scope the program was renamed the PV Accelerator for Commercializing Technologies, dropping perovskite from the name.
Integral Experiment Request 523 CED-2 Report
This report documents the final design phase of the Critical Experiment Design (CED-2) conducted as part of integral experiment request (IER) 523. The purpose of IER 523 is to determine critical configurations of 35 weight percent (wt%) enriched uranium dioxide beryllium oxide (UO 2 -BeO) material driven by an annular ring of Seven Percent Critical Experiment (7uPCX) fuel rods at Sandia National Laboratories (Sandia). The experiments will provide benchmark data on water moderated, intermediately enriched UO2 systems as well as Be nuclear data. The experiment will also provide partial validation for the beryllium oxide (BeO) thermal neutron scattering law (TSL) in the thermal energy range. Experiment design concepts, neutronic analysis results, and proposed paths for continuing the CED process are presented. This report builds on the feasibility and justification of experimental need report (CED-0) and preliminary experiment design report (CED-1) completed in December 2021 and September 2023, respectively [1, 2].

Threats to DERs and Tools to Mitigate Them
As the pace of renewable energy development increases, so does the challenge and opportunity to develop innovative solutions to secure renewable technologies. Four national laboratories National Renewable Energy Laboratory, Sandia National Laboratories, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, and Idaho National Laboratory are working together to increase cybersecurity maturity levels for solar stakeholders. INL will discuss a DER threat briefing and operator tools and training developed under the Securing Solar for the Grid (S2G) project.
FY2023 NSTTF Annual Report
The National Solar Thermal Test Facility (NSTTF) is a DOE Core Capability and Technology Deployment Center located in Albuquerque, NM. It is operated by Sandia National Laboratories (Sandia) for the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). The NSTTF is the only multi-mission, multi-use, multi-story test facility of its type in the United States. The NSTTF was founded in 1978 and began testing with high heat flux that same year. Over the past 45 years, the NSTTF has been at the forefront of the research, design, fabrication, and testing of many of the critical Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) technologies. These technologies have allowed costs to be dramatically reduced from over $\$ $0.40 /kWh to $\$$0.12 /kWh since the conception of this renewable energy technology. The NSTTF has worked to make the Solar Energy Generating Systems (SEGS) parabolic trough plants successful, while also working with the Solar One and Solar Two facilities for successful implementation. Over the four decades since its founding, the mission of the NSTTF has grown to include new receiver technologies, like our generation 3 falling particle system (G3P3 Tower), optical metrology techniques like SOFAST, molten salt testing, thermal energy storage, solar thermal chemistry, and more. We continue to expand our capabilities in pursuit of the DOE SETO mission and the DOE SunShot 2030 goals: unsubsidized LCOE of $\$$0.05/kWh for CSP that includes 12 or more hours of thermal energy storage. To support both the DOE SETO mission and support the CSP sector as a whole, we are working to develop our operations and maintenance framework to provide a world class testing facility in support of our technological achievements. To accomplish both of these missions, the NSTTF draws on the decades of experience and expertise of our staff along with the world-class facilities at Sandia National Laboratories to further the science of concentrated solar thermal technologies in diverse applications. We remain a trusted partner for high-quality and impactful research in both fundamental and applied arenas. We are able to provide our partners with both one-of-a-kind testing platforms as well as world-class analytics.
