ORONO, Maine — The man at the helm of Maine’s push to put 170 floating wind turbines in the Gulf of Maine by 2030 likens that effort to NASA’s space program.
Using that analogy, the wind turbine standing behind the University of Maine’s Offshore Wind Laboratory at the Advanced Structures and Composites Center’s could be compared to Explorer I, the first U.S. satellite launched into space.

The University of Maine's (UMaine) Advanced Structures and Composites Center (Orono Maine) announced Oct. 18 a partnership intended to gather measurements of wind activity at "hub height" (that is, at a distance above the water equal to the height of the rotor on an offshore wind turbine) in deepwater locations in the Gulf of Maine. The ASCC's partners are NRG Systems Inc. (Hinesburg, Vt.) which will supply the system that will be used to take the measurements; AWS Truepower LLC (Albany, N.Y.), UMaine’s Physical Oceanography Group, and Leosphere SAS (Orsay, France).

Ken Fletcher, director of the Office of Energy Independence and Security, did his job in protecting the public's interests when he expressed concerns about Statoil North America's proposal to
test floating turbine wind energy technology off the coast of Maine.
However, it's important to recognize that the economic projections
Fletcher found troublesome relate specifically to a research and
development project, not to offshore wind energy generation as an
industry. More...

Floating turbines researachon track as new wind power study touts value of offshore power generation. A consortium of environmental groups released a report Thursday touting
the value of offshore wind power along the Atlantic seaboard and urges
federal and state governments to act aggressively to support its
development, even as Maine researchers are moving toward placing a scale
model of a floating turbine in the Gulf of Maine next spring. More...
