GE, Labs Join Project for 3D-Printed Wind Turbine Blades
Three GE business units will partner with Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) and the National Renewable Energy Lab (NREL) to develop and demonstrate an integrated additive manufacturing process for high-performance blade designs as part of a $6.7 million project funded by the Department of Energyâs (DOEâs) Advanced Manufacturing Office (AMO).Â
Under the AMOâs proposed âAdditive and Modular Enabled Rotor blades and Integrated Composites Assembly (AMERICA)â funding opportunity, the national labs, GE Research, GE Renewable Energy, and LM Wind Power will seek to deliver a full-size 3D-printed blade tip that will be ready for structural testing. During the 25-month project, the entities will also work to deliver three blade tips that will eventually be installed on a wind turbine.
