DOE's Argonne National Laboratory developed a spatially explicit individual-based model for examining the cumulative impacts of wind energy development on populations and habitats of the greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus)—a candidate for...
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) recently announced the launch of WINDExchange, a national engagement and outreach initiative that marks a new e...
The amount of wind power in current electricity supply portfolios around the world is rapidly increasing. To help ensure the power system's reliability and adequacy, grid operators are actively pursuing the development of new rules that fully consider ...
Researchers at DOE's Argonne National Laboratory are developing a computational simulation tool to conduct studies of complex flow and wind turbine interactions in large land-based and offshore wind farms that will improve wind plant design and reduce ...
Building on its role as a world-class research facility, DOE's National Wind Technology Center at NREL—along with CREE, DNV KEMA, GE Wind, Romax Technology, Vattenfall Windpower, and DOE's Oak Ridge National Laboratory—developed an innovati...
To help developers more readily estimate the economic benefits of offshore wind plants, DOE recently released a new version of the Jobs and Economi...

Environmental consulting and engineering firm Stantec is observing patterns in offshore bat activity and species composition.
The installation of offshore wind farms requires a highly specialized fleet of vessels--but no such fleet currently exists in the United States. As part of a broader DOE initiative to accelerate the growth of the U.S. offshore wind industry, energy res...
As offshore wind energy develops in the United States, port facilities will become strategic hubs in the offshore wind supply chain, because all plant and transport logistics must transit through these facilities. Therefore, it is important that federa...
