Utility-scale wind turbine blade design and production has remained relatively unchanged over the past 25 years. A National Renewable Energy (NREL)-led project is looking to evolve beyond business as usual, with the help of a recently announced FOA award from the U.S. Department of Energy s (DOE s) Advanced Manufacturing Office (AMO).
