Sandia National Laboratories’ (SNL) environmental assessment modeling tool helps optimize the design of MHK-turbine array layouts within ocean, tidal, and river systems to balance energy generation efficiency with environmental considerations. The new tool, SNL-EFDC, is an augmented version of US EPA’s Environmental Fluid Dynamics Code (EFDC) and includes; (1) a new module that simulates energy conversion (momentum withdrawal) by MHK turbine-like devices including commensurate changes in the turbulent kinetic energy and turbulent kinetic energy dissipation rate, (2) new, advanced sediment dynamics routines, and (3) augmented water quality modules. SNL-EFDC has been verified and validated against flume measurements of flow around sub-scale turbines and actuator disks.

ConnectWise Identify is a powerful cybersecurity risk assessment platform offering strategic cybersecurity assessments and recommendations.

When it comes to cybersecurity, what your clients don’t know can really hurt them. And believe it or not, keep them safe starts with asking questions. With ConnectWise Identify Assessment, get access to risk assessment backed by the NIST Cybersecurity Framework to uncover risks across your client’s entire business, not just their networks. With a clearly defined, easy-to-read risk report in hand, you can start having meaningful security conversations that can get you on the path of keeping your clients protected from every angle. Choose from two assessment levels to cover every client’s need, from the Essentials to cover the basics to our Comprehensive Assessment to dive deeper to uncover additional risks. Our intuitive heat map shows you your client’s overall risk level and priority to address risks based on probability and financial impact. Each report includes remediation recommendations to help you create a revenue-generating action plan.
