Book excerpt: The development of technologically advanced, higher efficiency wind turbines has been identified as a high priority activity by the US wind industry. The Department of Energy's Wind Energy Program has begun a multi-year development program aimed at assisting the wind industry with the design, development, and testing of advanced wind turbine systems that can compete with conventional electric generation for $0.05/kWh at 13 mph sites by the mid-1990s and with fossil-fuel-based generators for $0.04/kWh at 13 mph sites by the year 2000. The development plan consists of four phases: (1) Conceptual Design Studies; (2) Near-Term Product Development; (3) Next Generation Technology Integration and Design, and (4) Next- Generation Technology Development and Testing. The Conceptual Design Studies were begun in late 1990, and are scheduled for completion in the Spring of 1992. Preliminary results from these analyses are very promising and indicate that the goals stated above are technically feasible. This paper includes a brief summary of the Conceptual Design Studies and presents initial plans for the follow-on activities. 3 refs., 4 figs.

Book excerpt: The development of technologically advanced, high-efficiency wind turbines continues to be a high-priority activity of the US wind industry. The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (formerly the Solar Energy Research Institute), sponsored by the US Department of Energy (DOE), has initiated the Advanced Wind Turbine Program to assist the wind industry in the development of a new class of advanced wind turbines. The initial phase of the program focused on developing conceptual designs for near-term and advanced turbines. The goal of the second phase of this program is to use the experience gained over the last decade of turbine design and operation combined with the latest existing design tools to develop a turbine that will produce energy at $0.05 per kilowatt-hour (kWh) in a 5.8-m/s (13-mph) wind site. Three contracts have been awarded, and two more are under negotiation in the second phase. The third phase of the program will use new innovations and state-of-the-art wind turbine design technology to produce a turbine that will generate energy at $0.04/kWh in a 5.8-m/s wind site. Details of the third phase will be announced in early 1993.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides comprehensive coverage of all aspects of wind energy and wind power, with information on the design, development, and financing of wind power systems, small wind power consumer guide for homeowners and businesses, federal government incentives for development, Department of Energy plans and programs, siting and environmental issues, and much more. Contents include: Introduction to Wind Energy: The Basics; Federal Incentives for Wind Power Deployment; Wind Power Today 2010; Small Wind Electric Systems - U.S. Consumer's Guide; 20% Wind Energy by 2030 Report Summary; Wind Energy Multiyear Program Plan for 2007 To 2012; 20% Wind Energy by 2030 - Increasing Wind Energy's Contribution to U.S. Electricity Supply (DOE Report); U.S. Wind Manufacturing Workshop: Achieving 20% Wind Energy by 2030. This large compendium, equating to over 300 book pages, is a excellent reference source for up-to-date wind power information. There is a full list of federal incentive programs, including tax programs, grants, and other programs. For homeowners, farmers, ranchers, and small businesses, the consumer guide to small wind electric systems answers many questions: Is Wind Energy Practical for Me? What Size Wind Turbine Do I Need? What are the Basic Parts of a Small Wind Electric System? What Do Wind Systems Cost? Where Can I Find Installation and Maintenance Support? How Much Energy Will My System Generate? Is There Enough Wind on My Site? How Do I Choose the Best Site for My Wind Turbine? Can I Connect My System to the Utility Grid? Can I Go "Off-Grid"? Glossaries and acronym lists describe confusing wind energy terms. On a national level, several DOE documents describe the federal research and development program, with a focus on the goal of 20% wind energy by 2030. The results of a recent workshop examine the status of America's wind energy manufacturing capability. For more than 25 years, the Wind Energy Program, one element of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Wind and Hydropower Technology Program (WHTP) under the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE), has been a central component of the Nation's efforts to advance wind energy technology for large utility-scale and smaller distributed wind technologies. The Wind Program has worked in close partnership with industry and the national laboratories to expand the wind energy technology base and foster innovation, culminating in some of industry's leading products today. The program has also created a family of internationally recognized wind turbine design tools that have led industry, utility, and government agencies in cooperative efforts to promote integration and acceptance of wind energy as a substantial contributor to meeting the Nation's energy needs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The development of technologically-advanced wind turbines continues to be a high priority of the U.S. wind industry. The United States Department of Energy (DOE) is sponsoring a range of projects that assist the wind industry to design, develop, and test new wind turbines. The overall goal is to develop turbines that can compete with conventional electric generation with a cost of energy (COE) of 5 cents/kWh at 5.8 m/s (13 mph sites) by the mid-1990s and with a cost of energy of 4 cents/kWh or less at 5.8 m/s sites by the year 2000. These goals will be supported through the DOE Turbine Development Program. The Turbine Development Program uses a two-path approach. The first path assists U.S. industry to develop and integrate innovative technologies into utility-grade wind turbines for the near term (mid-1990s). The second path assists industry to develop a new generation of turbines for the year 2000. This paper describes present and planned projects under the Turbine Development Program.

Book excerpt: The objectives of the Federal Wind Energy Program, managed by the US Department of Energy (DOE), are (1) to assist industry and utilities in achieving a multi-regional US market penetration of wind systems, and (2) to establish the United States as the world leader in the development of advanced wind turbine technology. In 1984, the program conducted a series of planning workshops with representatives from the wind energy industry to obtain input on the Five-Year Research Plan then being prepared by DOE. One specific suggestion that came out of these meetings was that the federal program should conduct cooperative research tests with industry to enhance the technology transfer process. It was also felt that the active involvement of industry in DOE-funded research would improve the state of the art of wind turbine technology. DOE established the Cooperative Field Test Program (CFTP) in response to that suggestion. This program was one of the first in DOE to feature joint industry-government research test teams working toward common objectives.
