Idaho National Laboratory’s Center for Advanced Energy Studies tests new wind energy system

Blackhawk helicopters accomplish our nation’s missions every day. Now, Idaho National Laboratory’s Center for Advanced Energy Studies (CAES) https://inlportal.inl.gov/portal/server.pt?open=512&objID=281&mode=2 is supporting a new kind of Blackhawk to develop energy solutions.

Researchers from the Blackhawk Project LLC are testing and monitoring a new Blackhawk Tilt Rotor (TR-10) Vertical Axis Wind Turbine (VAWT) recently installed at CAES. This wind system, developed by Blackhawk, represents what could be a significant evolution in wind energy technology.

"One of the reasons we chose Blackhawk is that it invites involvement from students and faculty," said Raymond Grosshans, program coordinator at CAES. "And it supports economic development in Idaho."
