Sustainable Energy Solutions

Project Scope

The Wind Energy Multiyear Program Plan for 2007-2012 document, created by the Wind and Hydropower Technologies Program at the Department of Energy of Energy has identified a number of technological barriers to expanding the deployment of wind energy to meet a growing national need for sustainable energy solutions. The research in this project targets low-wind/distributed-wind technology challenges: high costs for turbine systems, inefficient product reliability and maintenance support, and excessive interconnection. It also targets environmental impacts faced by both small and large wind systems.
