Floating Wind Turbines Show Resilience in Maine Simulations

University of Maine's research advances offshore wind technology, aiming to harness deep-water wind energy.

A 13-foot prototype successfully withstood simulated storm conditions in an indoor pool.
Floating turbines are crucial for capturing wind energy in waters too deep for traditional turbines.
The Gulf of Maine's wind energy potential could power 350 million homes, according to researchers.
The first U.S. floating wind energy auctions are set for the Gulf of Maine.
UMaine's floating turbine technology is attracting global interest for its potential to address climate change.
