Comparison Provides Insight Into Future Trends of Offshore Wind Energy
Throughout 2022, researchers, staff, and leadership at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) worked together with collaborators and partners to advance renewable energy and energy efficiency technologies. As this busy year at NREL draws to a close, we look back at some of the laboratory’s … [continued]
Canadian Vehicle Reveals With the recent winter megastorm that rolled in from the arctic, I’m sure many of us probably aren’t excited to think about Canada right now. They can keep their cold air, even if they’re super polite. But, the rest of the year, when we’re not freezing our … [continued]
NREL Uses Advanced Grid Research Environment for First-Ever Example ofType-3 Turbines Using Grid-Forming Controls
Offshore wind holds great promise as a source of clean, domestic, renewable energy that can meet the needs of communities along the nation’s coastlines. And — according to the Offshore Wind Market Report: 2021 Edition, written by a team of researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and its … [continued]
Standing hundreds of feet above ground, wind turbines — like tall trees, buildings, and telephone poles — are easy targets for lightning. Just by virtue of their height, they will get struck. Lightning protection systems exist for conventional wind turbine blades. But protection was needed for blades made from a … [continued]
The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) and six leading industry organizations have joined forces in developing a national Wind Cybersecurity Consortium. The goal of the consortium is to improve the cybersecurity of the U.S. wind fleet through collaborative analysis, development, and information sharing. Industry parties that signed into agreement with … [continued]
GE sticks a fork in the US coal industry with new 13-megawatt version of its Haliade-X offshore wind turbine.
General Electric Renewable Energy has secured two major contracts to supply grid scale battery storage in California and South Australia.
Wind energy powerhouses Vestas Wind Systems A/S and GE Renewable Energy announced this week that they had reached an “amicable settlement” over all disputes related to multiple patent-infringement claims in the United States which will subsequently discontinue the case pending in the US District Court for the Central District of California as well as all other pending proceedings related to the patents-in-suit.
