Articles about Offshore Wind Research and Development

In a series of 10 articles, over 100 wind energy experts from around the world are joining forces to identify the most critical needs for wind energy advancement.

DOE’s Small Business Innovation Research and Small Business Technology Transfer program awarded $137 million to American small businesses in 30 states, addressing missions primarily focused on renewable energy research and development.

In a new explainer video, the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) calls for a shift in mindset on curtailment, as the curtailment of wind and solar can be used to help make the grid more flexible and reliable.

To improve our understanding of why and how bats interact with wind turbines, the National Renewable Energy Laboratory has selected three companies to receive funding through its Enabling Coexistence Options for Wind Energy and Wildlife program.

PNNL researchers developed a new computer model of a device that acts like a translator, enabling renewable power sources like wind and solar to provide electricity to the grid while increasing system resiliency and stability.

DOE announced that it will work with 12 competitively selected remote and island communities around the United States to help strengthen their energy adaptability through the agency’s Energy Transitions Initiative Partnership Project (ETIPP).

Global Wind Day was on “Winds-day,” June 15. Meet some of the “Wizards of Wind Energy” from DOE’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) who make the magic happen in several areas.

The partnership highlights ongoing DOE efforts and commitment work alongside states and industry to provide a roadmap that identifies key pathways for meeting state and federal offshore wind goals.

Researchers from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory predict that, by 2035, wind plant designs will embrace towers even taller than previously thought.
