NREL and Sandia National Laboratories are partnering with GE to collect field measurements of a 2.8-MW land-based wind turbine operating in Texas. Data collected will help researchers enable more efficient capture of wind resources.
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.
Various energy industry stakeholders are calling for interconnection queue reform. While many projects that apply for interconnection are never built, data from these queues nonetheless provide a glimpse of the types of projects under development.
As we enter a new fiscal year, WETO is sharing some of the more notable wind energy research and development accomplishments from 2021.
The Land-Based Wind Market Report: 2021 Edition provides an overview of developments and trends in the U.S. wind power market.
The Offshore Wind Market Report: 2021 Edition provides detailed information on the domestic offshore wind industry to provide a U.S. context and help navigate technical and market barriers and opportunities.
The Distributed Wind Market Report: 2021 Edition provides stakeholders with statistics and analysis of the distributed wind market, along with insights into its trends and characteristics.
Top trends leading the offshore wind market into a decade of unprecedented growth.
A Lawrence Berkeley National Lab study assessed market value for solar and wind through 2019. The study, published in Joule, found that average market values for the technologies remained higher than their average generation costs.
DOE announced $1.95 million in wind-energy-related projects for national labs and their research partners as part of more than $30 million in awards for 68 projects supported by the Office of Technology Transitions Technology Commercialization Fund.
