The National Offshore Wind R&D Consortium has announced the availability of funding for additional offshore wind R&D topics.

The subsequent contract will support emerging technologies that detect and deter bird and bat encounters with wind energy facilities.

The Consortium's RFP is related to offshore wind plant technology advancement, which includes optimizing the performance of wind plants.

WETO has issued a $28-million multitopic FOA aimed at enabling wind energy nationwide across all sectors: land-based, offshore, and distributed.

DOE selected ten projects totaling $6.8 million that will reduce the impacts of land-based and offshore wind energy on bats and other wildlife.

The RFP aligns with the office's goals to make wind energy cost competitive with other distributed energy resources.

In 2018, a team at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory designed and built the CWC's second-generation wind tunnel.

ARPA-E provides funding for pioneering floating turbine designs.

The FOA invited proposals to develop a lightweight, more efficient wind turbine drivetrain system that minimizes the use of rare earth magnets.
