Various energy industry stakeholders are calling for interconnection queue reform. While many projects that apply for interconnection are never built, data from these queues nonetheless provide a glimpse of the types of projects under development.
Offshore wind research buoys are equipped with instruments that can take wind speed measurements as high as 250 meters—the height of today’s wind turbines. Results will help wind power plant operators make funding and siting decisions.
Weather models have difficulty forecasting the cold, near-ground temperatures in cold pools, resulting in subtle errors that have a big impact on the magnitude and timing of wind power predictions. A new method can cut wind speed errors by as much as 20%.
Selected projects will study environmental and wildlife topics that can help advance offshore wind on both the east and west coasts of the United States.
A new report from DOE’s Idaho National Laboratory and its industry partner EnerNex details new approaches to help secure the nation’s grid against physical and cybersecurity threats.
WETO and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Rhode Island Sea Grant have partnered to create a new Offshore Wind Liaison position. The Liaison will connect communities with information and research about offshore wind energy development.
The lab is seeking Request for Proposals to support research into how bat behave near wind turbines and how they respond to tools intended to keep bats away from turbines (deterrents).
NOWRDC released a new competitive solicitation to fund projects targeting offshore wind supply chain, logistics, and operations and maintenance. Concept paper submissions are due September 16, 2021.
The Land-Based Wind Market Report: 2021 Edition provides an overview of developments and trends in the U.S. wind power market.
The Offshore Wind Market Report: 2021 Edition provides detailed information on the domestic offshore wind industry to provide a U.S. context and help navigate technical and market barriers and opportunities.
