DOE is taking applications for the Fiscal Year 2024 Core Laboratory Infrastructure for Market Readiness Lab Call.

DOE is requesting information on challenges and opportunities relating to the co-existence of wind energy and radar.

A new R&D webpage highlights work addressing the potential impacts operating wind turbines have on defense and civilian radar systems.
DOE has signed on to two interagency agreements to continue to collaborate on and reduce potential impacts from wind turbines on radar systems used for air traffic control, weather forecasting, homeland security, and national defense missions.

Fifteen new projects were selected to receive a total of $8 million for offshore wind support structure innovation, U.S.-based supply chain development, electrical systems innovation, and solutions for impacts on wildlife and radar.
New Public Siting Tool Addresses Potential Impacts of Wind Turbines on Radar Systems
Wind development located within the line of sight of radar systems can cause clutter and interference.
The TSPEAR toolkit supports energy developers that wish to design, analyze, track the progress of wind energy projects. Initially designed to support wind energy development by assessing the interaction between turbines and constraining factors, such a...
These documents include a final report on the Interagency Field Test & Evaluation (IFT&E) program and summaries of three field tests designed to measure the impact of wind turbines on current air surveillance radars and the effectiveness of private sec...
DOE and federal agency partners recently completed the first in a series of three radar technology field tests and demonstrations.
