R&D with NREL's Davison Circulating Riser System
The Davison circulating riser (DCR) is the National Renewable Energy Laboratory's (NREL's) pilot-scale recirculating riser reactor system. Coupled with an upstream fluid-bed pyrolysis system, it permits evaluation of catalytic cracking of biogenic feedstocks, as well as coprocessing of biogenic and fossil feedstocks in a commercially relevant pilot fluid catalytic cracker.

NREL-AltDSS [SWR-25-58]
This repository builds upon the original work by PMeira at AltDSS-Schema, which aimed to define a structured JSON-based schema for DSS circuit representation. The schema has been packaged in this repository with slight modifications, enabling users to add the package as a dependency for downstream applications

WFIP3 - BLOC site - NREL Scanning Lidar (vertical profiles) / Derived Data - High-Frequency Wind Profiles
Wind profiles from ground-based Doppler lidar at the BLOC site were calculated for each 6-beam profiling scan (one point every ~20 s). The wind speed retrieval uses the Sathe et al., 2015, paper in the references. This lidar was Halo XR #216 through February 24, 2025, Halo XR #217 from February 24, 2025 through April 17, 2025, and again Halo XR #216 after that.
