Thanks to funding from the Wind Energy Technologies Office, the Massachusetts Renewable Energy Center’s Wind Technology Testing Center (WTTC) is testing next-generation wind turbine blades.
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.
The Wind Resource Database is an online tool that captures information about atmospheric forces that affect how wind turbines perform and how much energy they capture.
California State University Maritime Academy claimed first place out of 12 student teams in the 11th annual Collegiate Wind Competition final event in Minneapolis in May 2024.
The federal government and states have developed an integrated Offshore Wind Energy Leasing and Procurement Schedule, which presents offshore wind leasing information and estimated procurement timelines for East Coast states all in one place.
A newly released fact sheet that describes federal resources available to support offshore wind deployment.
WETO plans to invest $5.1 million in research and technology development to advance modeling for offshore wind turbine blades at adverse conditions.
