Articles about Offshore Wind Research and Development

SEER, the U.S. Offshore Wind Synthesis of Environmental Effects Research, is designed to shed light on the environmental effects of offshore wind development, identify existing gaps in information, and prioritize future environmental research efforts.

Offshore wind research buoys are equipped with instruments that can take wind speed measurements as high as 250 meters—the height of today’s wind turbines. Results will help wind power plant operators make funding and siting decisions.

Selected projects will study environmental and wildlife topics that can help advance offshore wind on both the east and west coasts of the United States.

WETO and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Rhode Island Sea Grant have partnered to create a new Offshore Wind Liaison position. The Liaison will connect communities with information and research about offshore wind energy development.

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

NOWRDC released a new competitive solicitation to fund projects targeting offshore wind supply chain, logistics, and operations and maintenance. Concept paper submissions are due September 16, 2021.

The Offshore Wind Market Report: 2021 Edition provides detailed information on the domestic offshore wind industry to provide a U.S. context and help navigate technical and market barriers and opportunities.

Top trends leading the offshore wind market into a decade of unprecedented growth.

Innovative technology mitigates the negative impacts of offshore wind energy development on this endangered species.

Offshore wind turbines can interfere with radar systems used for air traffic control, weather forecasting, and homeland security. To understand potential impacts, the Wind Turbine Radar-Interference Mitigation Working Group hosted a series of webinars.
