Proposal Number: 1143990Principal Investigator: CastilloThis award will provide support for the workshop titled "Wind Farms Underperformance & the National Wind Resource Center." The National Wind Resource Center (NWRC), in collaboration with its partners in the United States, Europe and Australia, will offer the two-day workshop at Texas Tech University in February of 2012.The underperformance of wind energy farms can be addressed by fundamental understanding of the role of turbulence on wind turbine arrays at different scales, including the performance of single blades in an array, as well as their wake-to-wake interactions. In order to advance fundamental understanding of these issues, the objectives of the workshop are to 1) Promote international collaborations between the United States, Europe, Latin America and Asia in wind energy underperformance; 2) Identify major pressing questions on wind farm underperformance; 3) Promote technology transfer by means of collaborations with industry and national laboratories, 4) Demonstrate the connection between fundamental knowledge and performance issues faced by the wind energy industry; 5) Provide metrics for in-flow characterization that plays a role in wind farm underperformance.Broader ImpactsIt is expected that contacts established between participants from US and international institutions, industry, and US national laboratories will lead to student/faculty visits, and ultimately, collaborative research projects. The future of wind energy will depend in part on graduate students trained with the multi-disciplinary knowledge and leadership skills needed to be successful in this emerging field. To address this challenge, an international team of leaders in the wind energy field will conduct a series of educational activities on wind energy underperformance. The workshop will aim to have more than 50% of student participants from underrepresented groups. Key activities will consist of lectures, panel discussions, informal group discussions, and poster sessions. Topics to be covered include wind energy design and layout optimization, economics of wind energy, offshore wind energy, wind energy arrays, and the effect of advanced blade design on wind energy performance. This information will also be made available to develop wind energy course materials in order to improve the quality of instruction in this field.The level and content of the lectures will be designed to serve as a permanent record. The presentations and video recordings from the lectures will be available on the website of the NWRC, and will also be disseminated through an article addressing key outcomes from workshops in USA and Europe.

项目编号：1143990首席研究员：castillo该奖项将为名为“风力发电场性能不佳&国家风力资源中心”的研讨会提供支持。美国国家风能资源中心（NWRC）将与美国、欧洲和澳大利亚的合作伙伴合作，于2012年2月在德克萨斯理工大学举办为期两天的研讨会。通过对不同尺度的风力涡轮机阵列中湍流作用的基本理解，包括阵列中单个叶片的性能，以及它们的尾流与尾流的相互作用，可以解决风力发电场性能不佳的问题。为了促进对这些问题的基本理解，研讨会的目标是：1)促进美国、欧洲、拉丁美洲和亚洲在风能表现不佳方面的国际合作；2)确定风电场表现不佳的主要紧迫问题；3)通过与行业和国家实验室的合作促进技术转让，4)展示风能行业面临的基础知识和性能问题之间的联系；5)提供在风电场表现不佳中起作用的流态表征指标。更广泛的影响预计，来自美国和国际机构、工业界和美国国家实验室的参与者之间建立的联系将导致学生/教师访问，并最终形成合作研究项目。风能的未来在一定程度上取决于研究生的多学科知识和领导能力，这是在这个新兴领域取得成功所必需的。为了应对这一挑战，一个由风能领域领导者组成的国际团队将开展一系列关于风能表现不佳的教育活动。讲习班的目标是让50%以上的学生来自代表性不足的群体。主要活动将包括讲座、小组讨论、非正式小组讨论和海报会议。将涵盖的主题包括风能设计和布局优化、风能经济学、海上风能、风能阵列以及先进叶片设计对风能性能的影响。还将提供这些资料，以编制风能课程材料，以提高这一领域的教学质量。讲座的水平和内容将被设计成永久的记录。讲座的演讲和录像将在国家自然资源中心的网站上提供，并将通过一篇介绍美国和欧洲讲习班主要成果的文章进行传播。
