Meeting global warming targets requires a roughly three-fold increase in wind energy installation by 2030. Achieving this growth will require a rapid increase in the number, size and capacity of wind farms and installations in locations and operation under conditions that will push the limits of our current understanding. The goal of the proposed symposium is to bring the wind energy and turbulence communities together to discuss the advances in wind farm science needed to meet these challenges. Close interaction among these communities is critical in this regard, as fluid turbulence plays a fundamental role in wind farms over scales ranging from blade aerodynamics and structural loading of individual turbines to the interactions between the turbulent flow in the wind farm array and the atmospheric boundary layer. The symposium will focus on advancing the understanding of turbulence in wind farms. It will be held in San Juan, Puerto Rico. The NSF support will aid in costs for graduate students and junior faculty to attend the symposium.The proposed symposium will have strong scientific and educational impacts as it seeks to provide a unique cross-disciplinary environment for identifying the current issues and new challenges associated with the role of turbulence in wind energy for the next quarter century. The symposium will bring together students and faculty experts to discuss state-of-the-art turbulence/wind energy research using a range of approaches including modeling, experiments, and simulations. Active participation of graduate students and junior researchers will engage the next generation of scientists/engineers to tackle problems in these areas; and to develop strategies and new initiatives for addressing the remaining challenges to reaching the ambitious goals needed to meet climate goals. Peer-reviewed contributions will be collected through a special topics volume in the Journal of Renewable and Sustainable Energy.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

实现全球变暖目标需要到2030年将风能装置增加约三倍。实现这一增长将需要迅速增加风电场和安装地点的数量、规模和容量，并在将突破我们目前理解极限的条件下运行。 拟议研讨会的目标是将风能和湍流社区聚集在一起，讨论应对这些挑战所需的风电场科学进展。 在这方面，这些群体之间的密切互动是至关重要的，因为流体湍流在风力发电场中起着重要的作用，范围从叶片空气动力学和单个涡轮机的结构载荷到风力发电场阵列中的湍流与大气边界层之间的相互作用。研讨会将重点放在推进风电场湍流的理解。 将在波多黎各的圣胡安举行。美国国家科学基金会的支持将有助于研究生和初级教师参加研讨会的费用。拟议的研讨会将有强大的科学和教育的影响，因为它旨在提供一个独特的跨学科的环境，以确定当前的问题和新的挑战与湍流在风能的作用，为下一个世纪。研讨会将汇集学生和教师专家讨论国家的最先进的湍流/风能研究使用一系列的方法，包括建模，实验和模拟。研究生和初级研究人员的积极参与将使下一代科学家/工程师参与解决这些领域的问题;并制定战略和新举措，以应对实现气候目标所需的宏伟目标的剩余挑战。同行评审的贡献将通过可再生和可持续能源杂志的专题卷收集。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为值得通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估来支持。
