Research and Education Program in Wind Energy System

Wind Energy

The Energy Center is exploring the development of innovative new wind-turbine technology that offers significant advantages over conventional designs. As with most new technologies, both operational and policy constraints limit wide-spread utilization of this energy source. These challenges are opportunities for members of the Energy Center research team to investigate how best to aid in wind power research and education.
