DOE-funded grid-enhancing technologies such as dynamic line rating help utilities safely deliver more power, ensuring a more reliable and cost-effective electric system ready to meet the nation’s growing energy demand.
DOE's Office of Electricity and WETO plan to issue the REIMAGINE BREAKERS NOFO to support research and development related to high voltage direct current (HVDC) power circuit breakers.
DOE announced selections of four projects, totaling $11 million in funding to improve HVDC Transmission Research and Development and help integrate renewable energy onto the grid and reach communities.
With support from the U.S. Department of Energy’s Wind Energy Technologies Office, the National Renewable Energy Laboratory is helping grid operators and equipment manufacturers successfully adapt to national energy addition using the Grid Impedance Scan Tool.
EERE intends to issue multiple funding opportunity announcements totaling over $100 million to modernize the grid and prepare the electricity system to support a renewable energy economy for all Americans.
The DOE-NASA Mod-Series Wind Turbine Program precedes the modern wind energy industry in the United States. For over two decades, with five distinct models built, the program helped shape a cost-competitive wind energy industry through funding and R&D.
The Renewable Energy Potential model can help identify optimal regions for wind plants based on factors like wind resources, land use, topography, and community preferences. It has revealed pathways to Puerto Rico’s renewable energy goals.
DOE released a $10 million funding opportunity announcement to fund research to drive innovation and reduce costs of high-voltage direct current.
The Wind Turbine Verification Program, established in 1993, introduced electric utilities to emerging wind turbine technologies, created more confidence in wind power, and helped wind energy become the robust renewable energy resource it is today.
Congratulations to NREL for winning two R&D 100 awards!
