MHK Cost Reduction Pathway
Step 1. Demonstrate functionality and establish baseline cost and performance data
• Initiate targeted R&D necessary to advance components and systems to demonstration phase
• Support comprehensive testing at progressive technology stages to quantify cost and performance drivers
• Develop tools, models, and materials to ensure system survivability
• Identify and minimize key environmental impacts to allow for demonstration permits
Step 2. Quantify key COE drivers
• Integrate resource assessments, technology cost and performance data, advancedIntegrate resource assessments, technology cost and performance data, advanced cost/performance models to identify critical drivers to reduce overall COE across MHK technologies
Step 3. Refine R&D priorities and set resource specific COE milestones
• Adjust RD&D focus as necessary to reflect critical components, energy capture designs, and siting needs for least cost MHK systems
