The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide federal funding to General Electric Co. (GE) to develop a jointed wind turbine blade that can be transported to projects across the U.S. and assembled at lower cost than a comparable single-piece wind turbine blade.
The proposed project activities would include cost-value analyses, market evaluation, and stakeholder identification as well as the design, fabrication, and in-lab testing of various components of the jointed turbine blade. Project management would be overseen by GE from their offices in Schenectady, NY. Data analysis would also be completed by GE from their offices in Greenville, SC.
