Topic Area 2 will intend to further the technical readiness of Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 5-6 detect and deter and informed curtailment systems through technical improvement and testing activities.Topic area 3 will intend to support the demonstration of a proposed TRL 7+ detection and/or minimization technology at an operational wind facility at a scale sufficient to provide an accurate demonstration of efficacy through a statistically significant reduction of impact at a reasonable cost. Please note the "Submission Deadlines" below. The EERE Exchange system is designed to enforce hard deadlines for Concept Paper and Full Application submissions.
