NISKAYUNA, New York (December 19, 2024) – Signaling a significant alliance in the energy transition landscape, GE Vernova’s (NYSE: GEV) Advanced Research Center (ARC) has supplied a 3.4-140m, 81m hub height wind turbine to the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL). This transaction represents a deeper, strategic relationship aimed at enabling groundbreaking collaborative research using GE Vernova's assets - underscoring the potential for government and private sector cooperation to drive innovation and progress in critical areas of energy research.

GE Vernova’s 3.4 MW-140m wind turbine will serve as the research platform with NREL, the leading US government laboratory on wind research, in a project funded through a Department of Energy (DOE) solicitation. The fields of exploration encompass several critical areas, each aimed at advancing wind technology and energy systems, including grid testing, installation and services technologies, sensors and controls, mechanical systems, advanced aerodynamic solutions, direct current (DC) coupling and battery energy storage systems (BESS), and hydrogen electrolyzers to improve energy efficiency and storage. These areas align with GE Vernova’s strategic priority to facilitate widescale deployment of large-scale wind energy systems – key to which are advancements in sensors that expand observability, advanced models that capture complex atmospheric and structural behaviors, and sophisticated algorithms and analytics that optimize turbine coordination and resilience.

“By integrating GE Vernova’s 3.4 MW-140m wind turbine into ongoing and new joint research projects, NREL and GE Vernova can accelerate the development of these critical technologies,” says Matt Guyette, Strategy and Product Leader of GE Vernova’s Wind business, “with the aim of making large-scale wind energy systems more accessible and efficient.”

This transaction enables both organizations to leverage each other's expertise and resources to drive innovation and advance critical wind technologies - creating a platform for groundbreaking research that would be difficult to achieve independently. “GE Vernova’s Advanced Research Center’s provision of this turbine to NREL for use in energy research is crucial for advancing wind technologies and accelerating decarbonization efforts for both organizations," says Rogier Blom, Renewables Breakthrough Technologies Leader at GE Vernova’s Advanced Research Center.
