WETO has released a Request for Information to gather information on research needs related to the effects of offshore wind development on communities, in the context of a just clean energy transition.
This round will fund projects that facilitate ocean co-use, mitigate impacts to marine wildlife, enhance offshore wind power forecasting, and improve transmission system reliability and resilience.
New land-based maps are available for Missouri and Tennessee, and new offshore maps are available for Texas-Louisiana, North Carolina-South Carolina, and Mississippi-Alabama-Georgia-Florida.
The National Offshore Wind R&D Consortium has announced six new projects to support supply chain efficiency, asset monitoring, and inspection.
Report details regional and national strategies to support the Administration’s goals for offshore wind deployment
As 2021 draws to a close, the Wind Energy Technologies Office (WETO) is reflecting on our R&D, recent achievements, and recognitions, and getting ramped up for a new year of possibilities for wind energy.
National lab study will study will evaluate multiple pathways to OSW goals through coordinated transmission solutions along the Atlantic in the near-term (2030) and long-term (2050), under various generation mix and load futures.
This DOE literature review summarizes publicly available transmission analyses on the Atlantic Coast, as well as gaps in such analyses, in order to improve understanding of offshore wind transmission options.
The NOWRDC supports research to accelerate the U.S. offshore wind energy industry. Now, with 40 offshore wind R&D awards issued—totaling $28.3 million across 25 states—the organization is driving critical innovation in U.S. offshore wind.
As wind turbines and plant sizes grow, is there a point at which costs plateau? Researchers analyze the avg cost per megawatt to develop and maintain offshore wind plants—and how these could change if trends toward larger turbines and plants continue.
