FPoliSolutions Awarded $200,000 by DOE for Small Business Research and Development

May 20, 2022 — FPoliSolutions Receives One of 259 Grants Totaling $53Million Nationwide to Support Scientific Innovation in Clean Energy Development and Climate Solutions

U.S. Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm today announced that FPoliSolutions will receive $200,000 as part of 259 Department of Energy grants totaling $53 million to 210 small businesses in 38 states. The awards include projects relating to particle accelerators and fusion technology, applied nanoscience, quantum information applications, and dark matter research along with a wide range of other efforts.

“Supporting small businesses will ensure we are tapping into all of America’s talent to develop clean energy technologies that will help us tackle the climate crisis,” said Steve Binkley, Acting Director of the DOE’s Office of Science. “DOE’s investments will enable these economic engines to optimize and commercialize their breakthroughs, while developing the next generation of science leaders and ensuring U.S. scientific and economic competitiveness that will benefit all Americans.”

Through the SBIR/STTR program across the federal government, small business powers the U.S. economy and generates thousands of jobs, both directly and indirectly, the DOE notes. DOE Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) awards aim at transforming DOE-supported science and technology breakthroughs into viable products and services. The awards also support the development of specialized technologies and instruments that aid in scientific discovery.

FPoliSolutions will receive $200,000 to develop an enterprise digital platform for condition monitoring and predictive maintenance augmented with enhanced predictive capabilities by combining digital-twin, machine learning and AI technologies. The new service called ADALIX (Asset Data Analytics) will be integrated into FPoli SaaS (Software-as-a-Service) platform. This service will be key in reducing O&M costs of the operating nuclear power fleet as well as improving the value proposition for the new generation of advanced nuclear reactors.
