The National Renewable Energy Laboratory's (NREL's) Flatirons Campus features four dynamometers that can perform research validation on wind turbine systems and ocean energy devices. These dynamometers can validate wave and water power systems over capacity ratings ranging from 1 kilowatt (kW) to 5 megawatts (MW) by replacing water with a controllable, electric motor. By combining these capabilities with other tools, such as the controllable grid interface (https://www.nrel.gov/grid/controllable-grid-interface.html), researchers can verify how their device interacts with the grid or integrates with other technologies.
