Aquanis has been given $ 3.5 m by the US Department of Energy ( DOE ) to develop a wind turbine load control system to speed up reactions to wind changes . The system uses blade - mounted electrical actuators to alter flow over the blade 's surface without the need for moving parts . A team led by Aquanis and including the University of Texas at Dallas , Idaho National Laboratories and TPI Composites will work on improving the technology . The grant was awarded by the DOE 's Advanced Research Projects Agency – Energy and is part of a $ 500 m fund set up by the department to support energy innovation .

The system uses blade-mounted electrical actuators to alter flow over the blade's surface without the need for moving parts. A team led by Aquanis and including the University of Texas at Dallas, Sandia National Laboratories and TPI Composites will work on improving the technology. The grant was awarded by the DOE's Advanced Research Projects Agency – Energy and is part of a $98m fund set up by the department to support energy innovation.
