Website Features UMaine Wind Turbine Testing In The Netherlands

The website Marine Executive has a report about the wind blade testing currently ongoing at the Marin testing facility in the Netherlands. Faculty and student engineers from UMaine’s AEWC Advanced Structures and Composites Center are testing three types of floating wind turbines in Marin’s wave tank. The findings will help UMaine move forward in its goal of putting floating deepwater offshore wind turbines in the Gulf of Maine. Other websites, including Environmental Protection Online, also have stories about the testing.
