$10 million funding available for analytical tools that will accelerate the reliable interconnection of renewable energy into the transmission system.

Wind Forecast Improvement Project will Monitor Weather, Ocean, and Wildlife Data Near Active and Proposed Offshore Wind Farms off the East Coast

A new report for the International Energy Agency Wind Technology Collaboration Programme summarizes the findings of a meeting of global wind energy experts who identify the five Grand Challenges

The Renewable Energy Potential model can help identify optimal regions for wind plants based on factors like wind resources, land use, topography, and community preferences. It has revealed pathways to Puerto Rico’s renewable energy goals.

Regional wind data from around the U.S. helps improve a national weather forecasting model, which allows utility companies to better plan for windy days.

DOE released a $10 million funding opportunity announcement to fund research to drive innovation and reduce costs of high-voltage direct current.

The Wind Turbine Verification Program, established in 1993, introduced electric utilities to emerging wind turbine technologies, created more confidence in wind power, and helped wind energy become the robust renewable energy resource it is today.

Congratulations to NREL for winning two R&D 100 awards!

WETO is funding two technical assistance projects under the Interconnection Innovation Exchange.

DOE plans to fund research to drive innovation and reduce costs of high-voltage direct current (HVDC) voltage source converter (VSC) transmission systems.
