DOE's Office of Electricity and WETO plan to issue the REIMAGINE BREAKERS NOFO to support research and development related to high voltage direct current (HVDC) power circuit breakers.

DOE announced selections of four projects, totaling $11 million in funding to improve HVDC Transmission Research and Development and help integrate renewable energy onto the grid and reach communities.
$11.2 million program to pilot solutions for managing renewable energy and electric vehicle charging interconnection and energization queues.
$31 million funding to improve power systems simulation software tools and demonstrate new business models for operators managing electric grids with large amounts of solar and wind generation, energy storage, and other distributed energy resources.

With support from the U.S. Department of Energy’s Wind Energy Technologies Office, the National Renewable Energy Laboratory is helping grid operators and equipment manufacturers successfully adapt to the energy transition using the Grid Impedance Scan Tool.

An Idaho National Laboratory report takes the first comprehensive look at cyberattack risks that could jeopardize U.S. wind energy systems and real-world events that have affected wind energy systems and organizations around the world.

While studying mechanical engineering at the University of Texas in Austin, Paquette became interested in structural components and composite materials. Although he originally planned to pursue work in the aerospace industry, he jumped at the opportunity to work at Sandia on wind turbine blades—the largest composite structures in the world.

EERE intends to issue multiple funding opportunity announcements totaling over $100 million to modernize the grid and prepare the electricity system to support a renewable energy economy for all Americans.

The DOE-NASA Mod-Series Wind Turbine Program precedes the modern wind energy industry in the United States. For over two decades, with five distinct models built, the program helped shape a cost-competitive wind energy industry through funding and R&D.
DOE seeks feedback on program to pilot solutions for managing renewable energy and electric vehicle interconnection and energization queues.
