Overview
Grant Description
The Academic Center for Reliability and Resilience of Offshore Wind (ARROW) is a Dept. of Energy (DOE) Center of Excellence in Offshore Wind (OSW) formed to (A) create a diverse, enduring and domestically educated professional OSW workforce,
(B) ensure reliability, resilience, low cost and rapid deployment of OSW to most effectively meet the needs of society and
(C) achieve diversity in the OSW workforce and equity in the deployment of OSW.
The center embarks upon development of a broad educational program (ARROW-EMPOWER) that will empower the next generation of US OSW professionals, advancing the educations of more than 1,000 students over the 5-year life of the center.
Additionally, targeted research activities (ARROW-INNOVATE) will reduce uncertainty associated with OSW deployment by more than 15% and contribute directly to lower costs to ratepayers and accelerated OSW deployment.
Finally, robust community outreach and diversity efforts (ARROW-ENGAGE) ensure diversity of the future US OSW workforce, exceeding diversity targets by 25% or more, and an equitable distribution of OSW benefits.
ARROW-ENGAGE activities will deliver broad community benefits across three categories, diversity, energy equity and America’s workforce.
Community based participatory research will ensure that all stakeholders have a seat-at-the-table as ARROW progresses,
targeted recruitment and support mechanisms will ensure ARROW diversity,
and industrial outreach will guarantee relevant educational experiences for the future workforce.
