This award will support an "International Workshop on Wind Energy Development" to be held in Cairo, Egypt from March 23-25, 2010. The workshop is a collaborative effort between Dr. Manisa Pipattanasomporn from Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University and Dr. Janet Twomey from Wichita State University, together with Dr. Mohamed Elsobki from Cairo University, Egypt. This workshop will bring together wind energy experts from industry, non-government organizations, government agencies, and universities. Approximately 40 experts will be invited from the United States, Egypt and the region to identify and discuss the research and development needs that will facilitate sustainable wind energy development.Intellectual Merit. The workshop will focus on two key issues related to wind energy. These issues, which are of interest to both US and Egyptian participants, are: (i) methodologies that can increase wind turbine performance in terms of its design and operation; and (ii) the analysis and identification of methodologies to mitigate impacts of large-scale wind energy integration on electric power systems and on the environment. Of equal importance are the policy, economic, education, training and awareness aspects in the context of wind energy projects. The expected outcomes of this workshop will include a set of recommendations that identify necessary building blocks for facilitating the deployment of large scale wind energy projects. Furthermore, it is expected that the presentations and discussions at the workshop will lead to the identification of opportunities for collaborative research among diverse stakeholder groups both in the region and in the United States. These collaborations are expected to contribute to facilitating wind energy development solutions in many parts of the world that have diverse wind, atmospheric and environmental conditions.Broader Impacts. The workshop will provide the participants, including undergraduate and graduate students, with a culturally rich experience. The students will have the opportunity to interact with experts from various countries and discuss their interests. This will serve as a basis for future collaboration and for conducting joint research and/or setting up joint programs on wind energy among the U.S. and the Egyptian institutions, as well as institutions from the region. Special efforts will be made to recruit workshop participants from under-represented groups, including women.This workshop is funded under the US-Egypt Joint Fund Program, which provides grants to scientists and engineers in both countries to undertake cooperative research. Co-funding has been provided by the NSF Office of International Science and Engineering; the NSF Engineering Directorate's Division of Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental, and Transport Systems; and the NSF Engineering Directorate's Office of the Director, Diversity and Outreach.

该奖项将于2010年3月23日至25日在埃及开罗举行的“国际风能开发研讨会”。该研讨会是弗吉尼亚理工学院的Manisa Pipattanasomporn博士与州立大学的Manisa Pipattanasomporn博士与Wichita State University的Janet Twomey博士之间的合作努力，与Mohamed Elsobki frof Cairo University的Mohamed Elsobki博士之间的合作。 该研讨会将汇集来自行业，非政府组织，政府机构和大学的风能专家。 将邀请大约40名专家来自美国，埃及和该地区，以识别和讨论将有助于可持续风能开发的研发需求。 研讨会将重点关注与风能有关的两个关键问题。 这些问题对我们和埃及参与者都感兴趣，是：（i）可以在其设计和操作方面提高风力涡轮机性能的方法； （ii）分析和识别方法，以减轻大规模风能整合对电力系统和环境的影响。 在风能项目的背景下，同等重要的是政策，经济，教育，培训和意识方面。 该研讨会的预期结果将包括一系列建议，以确定促进大规模风能项目部署的必要基础。 此外，预计研讨会上的演讲和讨论将导致确定该地区和美国各种利益相关者群体之间合作研究的机会。 预计这些合作将有助于促进世界许多地区风能开发解决方案，这些解决方案具有多种风，大气和环境状况。 研讨会将为包括本科生和研究生在内的参与者提供文化丰富的经验。 学生将有机会与来自各个国家的专家进行互动并讨论他们的兴趣。 这将是未来合作和进行联合研究和/或建立有关风能的联合计划的基础，以及该地区的机构。 将做出特殊努力，以招募包括妇女在内的代表性不足的团体的参与者。该研讨会是根据美国 - 埃及联合基金计划资助的，该课程为这两个国家提供了合作研究的科学家和工程师的赠款。 NSF国际科学与工程办公室提供了共同资助； NSF工程局的化学，生物工程，环境和运输系统； NSF工程局局长多样性和外展董事办公室。
