The National Renewable Energy Laboratory's (NREL's) Flatirons Campus features two dynamometers in the Water Power Systems Laboratory that can perform research validation on marine and hydrokinetic energy devices as well as wind turbine systems from 100 watts to 15 kilowatts (kW) in size. These capabilities can also be combined with programmable loads, blue economy (nrel.gov/water/powering-blue- economy.html) application simulators, and microgrid emulators to test an extensive range of system operation and technology integration. The dynamometers replicate realistic operational conditions to assess power take-of systems and advance the technical readiness of innovations.
