Verdant Power: Thermoplastic Blade Validation at Full Scale
Program Document
·
OSTI ID:1838128
For the first time in history, thermoplastic composite blades, which have the potential to revolutionize the marine energy industry, are being validated on a large-scale tidal power turbine. Thanks to funding from the U.S. Department of Energy's Water Power Technologies Office and a collaboration with Verdant Power, NREL researchers constructed thermoplastic composite turbine blades and are validating their performance on one of Verdant Power's tidal turbines deployed in New York City's East River.
