Meeting Summary
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Advanced Reciprocating Engine Systems (ARES) Program is currently sponsoring several university projects in support of the program's research and development objectives. The annual review of those projects was held at Argonne National Laboratory on July 12, 2005.
The objectives of the review were to provide guidance to the participating universities, to assist DOE in developing the future ARES research agenda, and to promote the sharing of information within the ARES stakeholder community. Representatives from each of six universities reviewed key aspects of their work, including relevance of the research to DOE-ARES objectives, the approach being used, progress and accomplishments thus far, technology transfer/collaborations, and proposed future research. A panel of expert reviewers drawn from eight government, industry, and research organizations rated these aspects of each project and provided guidance for the future course of the research.
