Aquanis has been given $98 by the US Department of Energy (DOE) to develop a wind turbine load control system to speed up reactions to wind changes. In addition to introducing new innovations to advance the company’s actuator technology, the team will develop an integrated design approach to maximize the impact of segmented active load control on the cost of energy. 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 Sandia National Laboratories at Warren , Sandia National Laboratories and TPI Composites will work on improving the technology. The grant was awarded by Sandia National Laboratories – the US Department of Energy and is part of a $98 m fund set up by the department to support energy innovation.
