Wind repowering—the combined activity of dismantling or refurbishing existing wind turbines and commissioning new ones—plays an important role in the wind industry by modernizing the existing wind fleet and helping maximize wind energy use.
Using funding from DOE’s Competitiveness Improvement Project (CIP), Intergrid LLC has introduced the first inverter developed specifically for small- and medium-scale wind turbines.
As part of DOE’s A2e initiative, wind energy scientists share data and provide information to wind power plant owners and consultants who need to make informed decisions on types of technologies to be deployed and where to locate wind turbines.
Technology and commercial advancements are expected to continue to drive down the cost of wind energy, according to a survey of the world’s foremost wind power experts led by Berkeley Lab.
Using, reusing, recycling, and remanufacturing wind turbine materials—combined with technology engineered to use fewer materials and resources—will produce components that can easily be broken down for use in other applications.
Our spring newsletter is an opportunity to look both backward and forward—at wind energy research and development (R&D) accomplishments from the previous year and at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) plans for advancing wind energy in the future.
EERE’s Acting Assistant Secretary and the Deputy Assistant Secretaries for EERE’s three technology pillars—Energy Efficiency, Renewable Power, and Sustainable Transportation—and Operations will host a FY22 budget webinar on Thursday, June 3, at 2pm ET.
A new, comprehensive approach is now available for evaluating renewable energy project revenue and value holistically.
NREL and six leading industry organizations have joined forces in developing a national Wind Cybersecurity Consortium. The consortium will improve U.S. wind fleet cybersecurity through collaborative analysis, development, and information sharing.
FAST.Farm, a new modeling tool from NREL, will help users predict the power performance and structural loads of wind turbines within a wind farm, enabling them to maximize the farm’s power production and reliability.
