提案编号：1519253机构：马萨诸塞大学洛厄尔分校首席研究员：大卫·威利斯标题：2015年风能研究工作坊风能是清洁和可持续生产电力的自然资源。2015年风能研究研讨会由马萨诸塞大学洛厄尔分校(UNL)主办，将于2015年10月中旬在UNL校园举行。约175名研讨会参与者，包括教师和学生、国家实验室的研究人员、行业代表以及来自州和联邦机构的政府官员，将创造一个拥有集体知识财富的多样化受众，以确定推动美国风能继续商业发展所需的相关研究机会。为期两天的研讨会将包括主题演讲、特邀演讲、海报、展品、实地考察和小组讨论。2015年风能研究研讨会的主讲人、讨论领导者和参与者将参与四项活动：1)确定风能行业目前存在的研究差距，2)确定未来将为国家带来直接和长期利益的研究方向-S利用风能的能力，3)通过几个小组会议与著名的知识渊博的演讲者交流信息，以及4)教育风能界关于需要解决的相关问题，以降低风能的成本。分组讨论会将包括以下主题：风力涡轮机制造、结构健康监测与诊断、复合材料、风能资源表征与传感、计算建模、能量储存、智能电网与输电。讲习班将通过出版一份载有所有公开发表的专题介绍的报告来传播材料和知识，并将突出每个重点领域的成果。将创建一个网站来发布演示文稿幻灯片以及小组会议的视频。

Proposal Number: 1519253Institution: University of Massachusetts LowellPrincipal Investigator: David WillisTitle: 2015 Wind Energy Research WorkshopWind energy is a natural resource for the clean and sustainable production of electricity. The 2015 Wind Energy Research Workshop, hosted by the University of Massachusetts at Lowell (UNL), will be held on the UNL campus in mid-October of 2015. Approximately 175 workshop participants, consisting of faculty and students, researchers from national laboratories, representatives from industry, and government officials from state and federal agencies, will create a diverse audience with the collective wealth of knowledge to identify relevant research opportunities need to drive the continued commercial development of wind energy in the United States. The two-day workshop will include keynote lectures, invited presentations, posters, exhibits, field trips, and panels. The 2015 Wind Energy Research Workshop presenters, discussion leaders, and participants will engage in four activities: 1) Identify research gaps that currently exist in the wind industry, 2) determine future research directions that will provide immediate and long-term benefits to the Nation?s ability to harness wind energy, 3) exchange information via several panel sessions with distinguished and knowledgeable speakers, and 4) educate the wind-energy community about the relevant issues that need to be addressed to reduce the cost of wind energy. Breakout sessions will include the following topics: wind turbine manufacturing, structural health monitoring & diagnostics, composite materials, wind resource characterization & sensing, computational modeling, and energy storage, smart grid & transmission. The workshop will disseminate material and knowledge by publishing a report containing all publicly released presentations, and will highlight the outcomes in each focus area. A website will be created to post the presentation slides along with videos taken of the panel sessions.
