Wind Research Facility Tests Latest Technologies

摘要

The National Renewable Energy Laboratory's (NREL's) National Wind Technology Center (NWTC), south of Boulder, Colo., is the nation's premier wind energy technology research facility. Built in 1993, the center provides an environment for developing and testing advanced wind energy technologies. Wind turbine research conducted at NREL assists U.S. industry in developing cost-effective, high performance wind turbine technology that will compete in global energy markets. NREL researchers work with industry partners that are selected through competitive solicitations and share in the cost of research and development projects.
