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.
WETO released a roadmap assessing current practices, and future challenges and needs for operating and maintaining U.S. offshore wind farms, as well as specific recommendations for technology innovations that could help address the identified needs and gaps.
The Wind Energy Technologies Office (WETO) has funded the blade and drivetrain testing facilities since the 1990s, providing crucial knowledge and expertise to the ongoing expansion of commercial wind power—both domestically and globally.
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.
International collaboration supported by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Wind Energy Technologies Office has led to the development of standards for the wind energy industry.
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.
WETO plans to invest $5.1 million in research and technology development to advance modeling for offshore wind turbine blades at adverse conditions.
This proposed funding opportunity aims to improve mooring technologies and methods, which are used to secure floating platforms to the sea floor, for both the U.S. and Denmark.
