DOE-Funded Project Develops Safer Access to Offshore Wind Turbine Platforms

DOE Looks to the Future of Offshore Wind

DOE’s A2e initiative has identified the evolution of wakes in turbulent inflow as a key physical process affecting power production.

NREL completed the assembly and began testing a new drivetrain design that can increase reliability, improve efficiency, and reduce the cost of wind energy tremendously. Upon the successful completion of testing, technology readiness levels will be adv...

A DOE study demonstrates that wind power forecasts can be improved substantially using data collected from tall towers, remote sensors, and other devices, and incorporated into improved forecasting models in near real time.

On January 7, the Energy Department’s Advanced Research Projects Agency – Energy (ARPA-E) announced $125 million in available funding for its third open funding opportunity announcement, OPEN 2015.

On December 29, the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory released a third round of Requests for Proposals under DOE’s Distributed Wind Competitiveness Improvement Project.

The Energy Department began accepting applications on November 24 for its FY 2015 Phase 1 grant topics, including a Wind Program topic, under the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs to help s...

For the past several years, DOE's National Renewable Energy Laboratory has teamed with the Fraunhofer Institute for Wind Energy and Energy System Technology in Germany to lead an international effort under the International Energy Agency’s Task 30 to...

AML Superconductivity and Magnetics, in conjunction with DOE's Argonne National Laboratory, recently announced that their superconducting magnet system passed a landmark reliability test, demonstrating its potential suitability for wide-scale commercia...
