ENERGY
TECH-
NOLOGY.—The Secretary shall make competitive, merit-
based grants to consortia for the development of micro-
cogeneration energy technology. The consortia shall
explore—
(1) the use of small-scale combined heat and
power in residential heating appliances; or
(2) the use of excess power to operate other ap-
pliances within the residence and supply excess gen-
erated power to the power grid.
(c) GOALS.—
(1) INITIAL
GOALS.—In accordance with the
performance plan and report requirements in section
4 of the Government Performance Results Act of
1993, the Secretary shall transmit to the Congress,
along with the President’s annual budget request for
fiscal year 2007, a report containing outcome meas-
ures with explicitly stated cost and performance
baselines. The measures shall specify performance
goals, with quantifiable 5-year cost and energy sav-
ings target levels, for distributed energy resources
and systems, and any other such goals the Secretary
considers appropriate.
424
(2) SUBSEQUENT
TRANSMITTALS.—The Sec-
retary shall transmit to the Congress, along with the
President’s annual budget request for each fiscal
year after 2007, a report containing—
(A) a description, including quantitative
analysis, of progress in achieving performance
goals transmitted under paragraph (1), as com-
pared to the baselines transmitted under para-
graph (1); and
(B) any amendments to such goals.
SEC. 933. ELECTRICITY TRANSMISSION AND DISTRIBUTION
AND ENERGY ASSURANCE.
(a) PROGRAM.—The Secretary shall conduct a re-
search, development, demonstration, and commercial ap-
plication program on advanced control devices to improve
the energy efficiency and reliability of the electric trans-
mission and distribution systems and to protect the Na-
tion against severe energy supply disruptions. This pro-
gram shall address, at a minimum—
(1) advanced energy delivery and storage tech-
nologies, materials, and systems, including new
transmission technologies, such as flexible alter-
nating current transmission systems, composite con-
ductor materials, and other technologies that en-
425
hance reliability, operational flexibility, or power-car-
rying capability;
(2) advanced grid reliability and efficiency tech-
nology development;
(3) technologies contributing to significant load
reductions;
(4) advanced metering, load management, and
control technologies;
(5) technologies to enhance existing grid compo-
nents;
(6) the development and use of high-tempera-
ture superconductors to—
(A) enhance the reliability, operational
flexibility, or power-carrying capability of elec-
tric transmission or distribution systems; or
(B) increase the efficiency of electric en-
ergy generation, transmission, distribution, or
storage systems;
(7) integration of power systems, including sys-
tems to deliver high-quality electric power, electric
power reliability, and combined heat and power;
(8) supply of electricity to the power grid by
small-scale, distributed, and residential-based power
generators;
426
(9) the development and use of advanced grid
design, operation, and planning tools;
(10) any other infrastructure technologies, as
appropriate; and
(11) technology transfer and education.
(b) GOALS.—
(1) INITIAL
GOALS.—In accordance with the
performance plan and report requirements in section
4 of the Government Performance Results Act of
1993, the Secretary shall transmit to the Congress,
along with the President’s annual budget request for
fiscal year 2007, a report containing outcome meas-
ures with explicitly stated cost and performance
baselines. The measures shall specify performance
goals, with quantifiable 5-year cost and energy sav-
ings target levels, for electricity transmission and
distribution and energy assurance, and any other
such goals the Secretary considers appropriate.
(2) SUBSEQUENT
TRANSMITTALS.—The Sec-
retary shall transmit to the Congress, along with the
President’s annual budget request for each fiscal
year after 2007, a report containing—
(A) a description, including quantitative
analysis, of progress in achieving performance
goals transmitted under paragraph (1), as com-
427
pared to the baselines transmitted under para-
graph (1); and
(B) any amendments to such goals.
(c) HIGH VOLTAGE TRANSMISSION LINES.—As part
of the program described in subsection (a), the Secretary
shall award a grant to a university research program to
design and test, in consultation with the Tennessee Valley
Authority, state-of-the-art optimization techniques for
power flow through existing high voltage transmission
lines.
SEC. 933A. ADVANCED PORTABLE POWER DEVICES.
(a) PROGRAM.—The Secretary shall—
(1) establish a research, development, and dem-
onstration program to develop working models of
small scale portable power devices; and
(2) to the fullest extent practicable, identify and
utilize the resources of universities that have shown
expertise with respect to advanced portable power
devices for either civilian or military use.
(b) ORGANIZATION.—The universities identified and
utilized under subsection (a)(2) are authorized to establish
an organization to promote small scale portable power de-
vices.
(c) DEFINITION.—For purposes of this section, the
term ‘‘small scale portable power device’’ means a field
428
deployable portable mechanical or electromechanical device
that can be used for applications such as communications,
computation, mobility enhancement, weapons systems, op-
tical devices, cooling, sensors, medical devices and active
biological agent detection systems.
