Hydropower Testing Network (HyTN) Round 2 — No-Cost Technical Assistance Vouchers for Small Businesses

The Hydropower Testing Network (HyTN) voucher program, offered by Idaho National Laboratory (INL), provides no-cost technical assistance to qualifying small businesses in support of hydropower development, testing, and analysis. The program includes three capabilities: HyTN-49 for integrated planning, geotechnical analysis, valuation, and optimization; HyTN-50 for interconnection analysis, hardware-in-the-loop testing, and governor performance assessment; and HyTN-73 for hydroSHIELD hydropower assessment. • The program is funded through a U.S. Department of Energy voucher initiative. • Selected recipients will receive laboratory services from INL. • The scope of work for each capability is broad and developed collaboratively between INL and the selected recipient. • Projects that align with the general scope of any listed capability may be eligible for support. • Interested small businesses should identify the capability that best aligns with their project needs and register through the program's application portal.
