The company Einride is one of many startups that have been built on big goals regarding autonomous, electric transport. Most of these companies never get far and never make much of an impact. Well, this Swedish startup may be special, because it’s got a deal actually putting its autonomous truck … [continued]
In partnership with General Electric (GE), and funded by the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Wind Energy Technologies Office (WETO), researchers at Sandia National Laboratories (Sandia) and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) successfully installed and deployed a device called a spinner lidar on the hub — the structure that connects blades to … [continued]
DOE Wind Energy Technologies Office Selects 15 Projects Totaling $27 Million to Address Key Deployment Challenges for Offshore, Land-Based, and Distributed Wind In December 2022, the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Wind Energy Technologies Office (WETO) released a funding opportunity to lower costs and address barriers to deployment of wind … [continued]
California is proceeding with a plan to install up to 25000 MW of electricity from offshore floating wind turbines by 2045.
Virginia is going from near-zero wind power to 2.6 gigawatts all at once, with the approval of a new offshore wind plan for Dominion Energy.
Manufacturing costs and logistics are two challenges to rapidly integrating more renewable energy into the U.S. power system. This is especially true for tall land-based wind turbines, but Colorado-based Keystone Tower Systems is changing how wind turbines can be manufactured, transported, and installed. Taller land-based wind turbines harness and generate … [continued]
Height is might when it comes to wind turbine towers. The taller they are, the more energy they can harness. Transporting massive tower components to their installation sites is logistically challenging and costly, but GE Renewable Energy has a solution: 3-D printing the base of the concrete tower on site, … [continued]
GE is ready to rock the world of onshore wind turbines with 3D printing for a new concrete base.
First-ever demonstration shows wind can fulfill a wider role in future power systems: The Electric Grid In a milestone for renewable energy integration, General Electric (GE) and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) operated a common class of wind turbines in grid-forming mode, which is when the generator can set … [continued]
Green hydrogen projects are stepping up in scale, as demonstrated by 3 projects impacting ground transportation, power generation, shipping, and aircraft.
