The Department of Energy is proposing to provide federal funding to Oregon State University to create a system to characterize the performance of the next generation of substructures and wind turbine components. Proposed project activities would be conducted over two budget periods and include the design, development, and construction of a real-time hybrid simulation framework for the testing of floating offshore wind turbines. The project would result in the development of a robust, modular, and extendable framework for hydro-real-time hybrid simulation testing. This research would enable wind/wave testing of Floating Offshore Wind Turbines, thereby supporting innovative research and development related to offshore wind energy.
