ExpandDOE’s ongoing efforts to advance wind turbine materials recycling. Prize Structure The $5.1 million Wind Turbine Materials Recycling Prize has two phases that will run from 2023 to 2024. During the first phase,Initiate!, competitors will prepare a submission package that highlights a conc...
The $5.1 millionWind Turbine Materials Recycling prizewas funded by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law as part of its efforts to achieve a carbon-pollution-free power sector by 2035. Dan Bina, Critical Materials Recycling president and CEO, said his company was already interested in wind turbine re...
VAtoday where the new RAISE initiative betweenUSDAandDOEwas announced by USDA SecretaryTom Vilsack. "This is a very logical collaboration," he said. "TheDOEbrings technical expertise and knowledge of wind turbine technology, while theUSDAbrings ...
The NASA Lewis Research Center manages for the Department of Energy, the technology and engineering development of large horizontal axis wind turbines. In support of this activity each wind turbine has a variety of information systems used to acquire, process and analyze data. In general four ...
The NASA Lewis Research Center has designed, built, and is operating a 200-kW wind turbine (designated the Mod-OA-1) at Clayton, New Mexico. This paper compares the measured power-vs-speed performance of the Mod-OA-1 with predictions made using the PROP code. It is found that the actua...
The SNL/MSU/DOEcomposite material fatigue database provides a large amount of fatigue test data and mechanical properties for composite materials used in wind turbine blades [77]. Abumeri et al. [78] proposed a multi-scale progress failure analysis procedure that couples composite micro- and ...
Nonetheless, two techniques can be used to regulate wind turbine power output: blade pitch angle adjustment and rotor speed adjustment. The blade pitch angle technique changes the angle of the wind turbine blades to regulate power output. The turbine’s power output can be controlled by adjusting...
The U.S. Wind Turbine Database viewer houses information on more than 57,000 individual wind turbines across 43 states, Puerto Rico, and Guam. (Public domain) Reston, Va. and Washington, D.C. — The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), in partners...
Today, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), in partnership with DOE's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and the American Wind Energy Association, released the United States Wind Turbine Database (USWTDB) and the
(DOE-EPRI) Wind Turbine Verification Program (TVP), Global Energy Concepts (GEC) worked with participating utilities to develop a set of performance projections for their projects based on historical site atmospheric conditions, turbine performance data, operation and maintenance (O and M) strategies,...
