Expert Witness & Testimony
Independent technical and commercial expert opinion, testimony, and written reporting for litigation, regulatory proceedings, and infrastructure disputes across energy, storage, and grid systems.
Beyond the Deal
Research, Policy
& Expert Engagement
Two decades of deployment experience, brought to the table where decisions get made — courtrooms, lecture halls, research consortia, and program design. A3 supports institutions, universities, and counsel as an independent subject-matter expert, not only a developer.

Academic Research & Co-Authoring
Collaboration with universities and research programs on applied energy, resilience, and infrastructure systems — including teaming on competitive research and innovation grants.
Guest Lectures & Keynotes
Lectures, keynotes, and thought-leadership sessions for academic, industry, and public audiences — translating complex energy and infrastructure systems into deployable insight.
Policy & Program Support
Program design, technical advisory, and analysis for utilities, agencies, and public-private initiatives shaping the next decade of energy and infrastructure policy.
A3 collaborated on a GENESIS grant application focused on data-center optimization, with research partners including Clemson University. The application was not awarded. Elemental Capital grant applications remain pending. This work pairs distributed compute with solar and storage.
Andrew Dunn was invited to present his research at a South Carolina Sea Grant symposium in summer 2026.

Projects & Experience
Battery Electric Barges and Inland Port Research
Andrew’s graduate research at the College of Charleston developed a transferable framework for battery-electric and hybrid maritime operations using the Port of Memphis as a detailed inland-port case study. The work evaluated vessel propulsion, plug-and-play battery barges, onboard and shoreside BESS, port charging, utility infrastructure and fleet transition across multiple deployment scales. A 20-year benefit-cost model connected operator economics and infrastructure investment with grid emissions, air quality, public health and environmental justice. Although the research did not represent a commissioned port deployment, it provides a practical foundation for ports, vessel operators, utilities, developers and public agencies evaluating maritime electrification in inland, coastal and global markets.
