DOE’s Golden Field Office has released a Funding Opportunity Announcement for $45 million for one award for a large drivetrain testing facility, which will feature an instrumented dynamometer test stand, will enable the wind industry to develop, test and validate large-scale (5 to 15 MW) wind turbine drivetrain systems domestically. The required cost share is 35%, but 25% will be considered with justification. The period of performance will be 5 years, but DOE funding must be spent within the first 3 years. Each application must include organizational participants from a state(s) and university(ies) and a plan for achieving long term sustainable operation and maintenance and funding without future DOE assistance. The prime applicant must be a State or Local Government, University or non-profit and is restricted to the United States and its Territories. Potential end users of the facility may not partner due to conflict of interest. Applicants must submit a Letter of Intent to be eligible to submit a full application.
