WETO seeks to fund multiple projects for the development of offshore wind environmental monitoring technologies and energy storage systems that can be used to mitigate variability and uncertainties of wind.
DOE is taking applications for the Fiscal Year 2024 Core Laboratory Infrastructure for Market Readiness Lab Call.
DOE's National Renewable Energy Laboratory and Oak Ridge National Laboratory recently investigated advanced manufacturing processes and materials to enable novel wind turbine blade designs that both decrease costs and increase efficiency.
DOE is requesting information on challenges and opportunities relating to the co-existence of wind energy and radar.
WETO is partnering with the National Science Foundation to fund research focused on fundamental fluid dynamics associated with wind energy.
In 2023, the Wind Turbine Radar Interference Mitigation Working Group released an updated strategy to address wind turbines’ interference with critical radar missions, ensuring the long-term resilience of radar operations in the presence of wind turbines.
A WETO-funded partnership between General Electric, Sandia National Laboratories, and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory is enhancing data collection efforts to improve the accuracy of wind industry simulation tools.
Regional wind data from around the U.S. helps improve a national weather forecasting model, which allows utility companies to better plan for windy days.
Building a system of ports on the West Coast could enable the United States to develop a domestic supply chain and ensure efficient installation and maintenance of floating offshore wind farms, according to a study from NREL.
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.
