As 2021 draws to a close, the Wind Energy Technologies Office (WETO) is reflecting on our R&D, recent achievements, and recognitions, and getting ramped up for a new year of possibilities for wind energy.

DOE national laboratory researchers have determined a way to transport massive wind turbine blades at a lower cost, by designing them to bend, or deflect, by 20%.

DOE national labs and industry partner Vestas published a report discussing how 3-D printing may hold promise for producing specific wind energy components.

As we enter a new fiscal year, WETO is sharing some of the more notable wind energy research and development accomplishments from 2021.

DOE’s Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy recently selected six wind-energy-related projects for Small Business Innovation Research Phase II funding. The announcement is part of DOE-wide awards totaling $127 million.

The National Renewable Energy Laboratory has published a new study examining the use of advanced machine learning and 3D printing techniques to save costs and size in wind turbine generators.

Using, reusing, recycling, and remanufacturing wind turbine materials—combined with technology engineered to use fewer materials and resources—will produce components that can easily be broken down for use in other applications.

The purpose of the Supply Chain Roadmap is to present the collective benefits of a domestic supply chain and facilitate the acceleration of the offshore wind industry in the United States.

Slender, Flexible Blades Enable High-Energy-Capture Wind Turbines by Resolving Transportation Challenges.

As we usher in 2021, we’d like to share some of 2020's top wind energy R&D achievements.
