Specifically, the work under this CRADA includes, but is not limited to, the development of test procedures for an offshore test site in Delaware waters
testing of installed offshore wind turbines
performance monitoring of those turbines
and a program of research and development on offshore wind turbine blades, components, coatings, foundations, installation and construction of bottom-fixed structures, environmental impacts, policies, and more generally on means to enhance the reliability, facilitate permitting, and reduce costs for offshore wind turbines. This work will be conducted both at NREL's National Wind Technology Center and participant facilities, as well as the established offshore wind test sites.
