Lawrence Berkeley National Lab today released the eighth installment of the Tracking the Sun report series, which is funded by the U.S. Department of Energy SunShot Initiative. The report shows that the installed price of distributed solar photovoltaic...
NREL's 91-Year-Old Palmer Carlin—a Wind Energy Pioneer
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is leading a new International Energy Agency (IEA) Wind Task to address concerns about the environmental effects of wind energy technology.
Researchers at DOE’s Idaho National Laboratory are working with industry to model wind’s cooling effects on power transmission lines to dynamically couple transmission systems with concurrent cooling processes.
Flaws in wind turbine blades emanating from the manufacturing process are an important factor in blade reliability. To reduce uncertainty in the blade manufacturing process and improve their design and performance, SNL is working with industry to evalu...
LLNL researchers studying how to reduce uncertainties and errors in wind forecasts and power predictions.
Although wind energy researchers cannot see the airflow around wind turbines, they know that wakes shed from upstream wind turbines lead to reduced...
DOE’s A2e initiative has identified the evolution of wakes in turbulent inflow as a key physical process affecting power production.
A new report finds that with high penetrations of wind and solar on the grid, together with good system planning, sound engineering practices, and ...
