The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has released the West Coast Offshore Wind Transmission Study and Action Plan for Offshore Wind Transmission Development in the U.S. West Coast Region.
The September/October issue of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Power & Energy Magazine, guest edited by WETO’s own Jian Fu, and Shahil Shah from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) focuses on offshore transmission.
$16. 9 million funding available for offshore wind and marine energy research and development.
Since its inception in 2014, the Lidar Buoy Program has been instrumental in gathering key data to advance the offshore wind energy industry.
WETO and the National Science Foundation Award Funding to Accelerate Floating Offshore Wind Research
Johns Hopkins University and Portland State University received funding from the National Science Foundation and WETO on a project that will help unlock the vast potential of floating offshore wind farms in the United States.
$10.6 million funding opportunity focused on addressing near-term challenges in U.S. Offshore Wind Sector to accelerate U.S. floating offshore wind.
Nearly $50 million funding available for projects that address several major areas of need for offshore wind.
DOE is collaborating on an 18-month initiative to gather extensive weather, ocean, and wildlife data near the sites of active offshore wind farms and lease areas off the coast of the Northeast United States.
The funds will be used advance floating offshore wind through port and vessel innovations, transmission technology, and uncrewed underwater vehicles for environmental monitoring.
The Wind Energy Technologies Office is exploring the relationship between wildlife and wind turbines.
