A new modeling tool developed by DOE’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory estimates that offshore wind development in areas like the Gulf Coast...
A new report recently published by DOE shows a downward trend in levelized cost of energy (LCOE) for both land-based and offshore wind projects since 2010.
Starting in 2012, researchers tried placing spotlights downwind from the 2.5-megawatt (MW) wind turbine in Rosemount, Minnesota. The research team was attempting to study turbulent airflow around a turbine in the field.
