Show Me the Money: New Grant Solicitation for Development of a Wind Turbine Drivetrain Testing Facility

On June 23, 2009, the U.S. Department of Energy (“DOE”) issued a Funding Opportunity Announcement (“FOA”) called “Recovery Act: Large Wind Turbine Drivetrain Testing Facility.” This FOA is for the design and construction of a large dynamometer facility (a dynamometer is a device used to test a motor or engine for efficiency and torque) for testing 5 to 15 MW-rated drivetrains (the components that transmit the flow of power from the engine to the wheels).
