DE-FOA-0003318: Notice of Intent to Issue Funding Opportunity Announcement DE-FOA-0003183 Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL), Provision 41007(b)(1), Aerodynamics for Offshore Wind Performance and Reliability

About this opportunity

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Energy Efficiency & Renewable Energy (EERE) intends to issue, on behalf of the Wind Energy Technologies Office (WETO), a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) DE-FOA-0003183 entitled “Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL), Provision 41007(b)(1), Aerodynamics for Offshore Wind Performance and Reliability”. The intended FOA would seek applications to fill a critical void in the development of multi-megawatt wind turbines for offshore deployment. Modern offshore wind turbines are the largest rotating machines ever built by humankind. Existing aerodynamic design tools and analysis methods are not well validated for machines of this scale, placing the cost of development and performance expectations from these designs at significant risk. The FOA wou...
