OSU Sustainability Office staff reviewed all 1736 FY15 rows of active research award data and coded awards according to their alignment with Earth Charter principles. Correlation with OSU's Signature Areas of Distinction was also supported by this method. As indicated in OSU’s Strategic Plan, research activities should advance the science of sustainable earth ecosystems, improve human health and wellness, promote economic development and social progress, or expand the current knowledge base within sustainability focus areas such as alternative energy, climate, and materials sciences.

Harnessing the Power of the Ocean
In 2008, the U.S. Department of Energy established the Northwest National Marine Renewable Energy Center (NNMREC), directed by OSU mechanical engineering professor Bob Paasch, a collaborative effort between OSU, University of Washington and the National Renewable Energy Lab. The NNMREC includes researchers from the colleges of Engineering, Oceanic and Atmospheric Sciences and Science, along with Oregon Sea Grant, the Cooperative Institute for Marine Resources Studies, the Marine Mammal Institute and the Hatfield Marine Science Center. NNMREC is one of only three U.S. Department of Energy National Marine Renewable Energy Centers.

Wind Energy: Thinking Smaller and Thinking Ahead
OSU's Energy Resources Research Laboratory is working with the Bonneville Power Administration on wind-forecasting models to determine the most productive locations for wind farms. Forecasting models are also useful in research to capture excess energy generated during peak wind events and releasing the stored energy onto the power grid at times when wind speeds are slow. OSU research also focuses on grid management and integration of renewable energy sources.

Modernizing the grid
Beyond finding new sources of energy and reducing consumption, OSU energy research also addresses the need to modernizing America’s aging and outdated power distribution infrastructure. This includes scale modeling, control systems, machine learning and networks that support smart grids. These digitally-controlled transmission and distribution systems are designed to be more reliable, energy efficient and economical, as well as able to readily accommodate renewable energy sources. OSU has one of the only grid-scale laboratories capable of testing products for utility performance.

Making Solar More Efficient and Manufacturable
Materials research is at the core of transforming solar energy technology. Appropriate selection of materials enables new technologies that are inexpensive, highly efficient and reliable. Oregon State University conducts a variety of materials research leading to next generation technologies. Advancements include thin film flexible substrate solar technologies, high efficiency coatings and transparent electronics to optimize solar energy harvest. In partnering with companies like Oregon BEST and Solar World OSU research in solar technologies is expanding at an exciting pace.

Please note that the count of "academic departments" listed in this credit differs than counts in other credits. For this credit, academic departments are broken down by specific campus unit conducting research, which includes centers, institutes and programs (which may focus solely on research) in addition to traditional academic departments.
