NREL and Great Lakes Wind target midsized turbine designers and manufacturers

By Paul Dvorak | March 16, 2010

The DOE and NREL have launched the Midsize Wind Turbine Development Project to help close a technology gap and facilitate development and commercialization of midsize wind turbines. The Laboratory is sponsoring workshops in Ohio and Oklahoma, facilitated by Cleveland-based Great Lakes Wind Network, to build awareness of the DOE-NREL Midsize Wind Turbine Development Project and encourage collaboration to assist U.S. manufacturers and wind turbine designers in producing near-term commercial value-engineered midsize turbine prototypes.

NREL worked with Northern Power Systems to redesign its 100-kW wind turbine.

The wind industry is growing fast in North America but the use of midsize wind turbines in the U.S. is hampered by a lack of options and market availability. This growth market provides a chance for designers, manufacturers, and component suppliers to join forces, close the technology gap, and at the same time build our nation’s midsize wind turbine supply chain.

Workshops will feature networking, panel presentations by turbine designers and manufacturers, information on NREL’s National Wind Technology Center, and existing and future manufacturing opportunities.

Cost for each full day event is $95. For sponsorship details contact Mari-Elen Sammon at (216) 588-1440 ext. 121. For more information, contact Ed Weston (GLWN) (216) 588-1440 ext. 125 or EWeston@glwn.org or Karin Sinclair (NREL) (303) 384-6946 Karin.Sinclair@nrel.gov .
