    Description

    The Department of Energy's Golden Field Office is announcing a Notice of Intent (NOI) to issue a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) for the Aerodynamics for Extreme-Scale Offshore Wind Performance and Survival (AESOPS) initiative. This FOA aims to address critical gaps in the development of multi-megawatt offshore wind turbines by validating existing aerodynamic design tools and analysis methods, which are currently not well-suited for extreme-scale applications. The initiative is significant for advancing cost-effective offshore wind technology, as it seeks to collect benchmark aerodynamic data, improve modeling tools, and provide insights to minimize risks associated with the deployment of large-scale wind turbines. The total funding available for this opportunity is up to $5.1 million, with an expected award range of $1 million to $2 million, and the application deadline is set for September 27, 2024. Interested applicants can find more information and contact details at the EERE Exchange website.
