The National Renewable Energy Laboratory has published a new study examining the use of advanced machine learning and 3D printing techniques to save costs and size in wind turbine generators.
A Lawrence Berkeley National Lab study assessed market value for solar and wind through 2019. The study, published in Joule, found that average market values for the technologies remained higher than their average generation costs.
DOE has signed on to two interagency agreements to continue to collaborate on and reduce potential impacts from wind turbines on radar systems used for air traffic control, weather forecasting, homeland security, and national defense missions.
Innovative technology mitigates the negative impacts of offshore wind energy development on this endangered species.
Interconnections Seam Study explores benefits and costs of enhanced transmission across U.S. electric grid.
Offshore wind turbines can interfere with radar systems used for air traffic control, weather forecasting, and homeland security. To understand potential impacts, the Wind Turbine Radar-Interference Mitigation Working Group hosted a series of webinars.
Natural Power has developed the first-ever smart curtailment technology that simultaneously reduces bat fatalities and energy losses at wind farms.
Wind repowering—the combined activity of dismantling or refurbishing existing wind turbines and commissioning new ones—plays an important role in the wind industry by modernizing the existing wind fleet and helping maximize wind energy use.
As part of DOE’s A2e initiative, wind energy scientists share data and provide information to wind power plant owners and consultants who need to make informed decisions on types of technologies to be deployed and where to locate wind turbines.
Using, reusing, recycling, and remanufacturing wind turbine materials—combined with technology engineered to use fewer materials and resources—will produce components that can easily be broken down for use in other applications.
