Workshop: World Alliance on Turbulence and Wind Energy, Gurabo, Puerto Rico, February 2011

该奖项将为2011年2月在波多黎各图拉博大学举办的题为“世界湍流和风能联盟”的研讨会提供部分支持。研讨会的既定目标是：1)促进美国、欧洲和澳大利亚之间的国际合作；2)确定关于湍流和风能的重大紧迫问题；3)通过与业界合作并通过在波多黎各创建可再生能源孵化器来促进技术转让；4)展示基础知识与风能应用之间的联系；5)促进代表不足的学生在风能和湍流领域的研究生学习；以及6)建立第一届世界墙-湍流会议？研讨会将独特地讨论大气湍流和风能交汇处的下列科学、工程和能源政策主题：1)设计和优化；2)电网集成、风能经济学和政策；3)近海风能；4)WE阵列及其对小气候的影响；5)大气边界层和高雷诺数流动。更广泛的影响研讨会具有在国际范围内促进风能创新的潜力，旨在激励研究生，特别是来自代表性不足群体的研究生，在大气科学和风能工程的结合点进行科学和工程主题的跨学科学习。为此，讲习班的目标是让50%以上的学生来自代表性不足的群体。

1064152CastilloIntellectual MeritThis award will provide partial support for the workshop titled ?The World Alliance on Turbulence and Wind Energy?, to be held at the Universidad del Turabo in Puerto Rico during February of 2011. The stated objectives of the workshop are to 1) Promote international collaborations between the United States, Europe and Australia; 2) Indentify major pressing questions on turbulence and wind energy; 3) Promote technology transfer by means of collaborations with industry and via creation of an Incubator in Puerto Rico on Renewable Energy; 4) Demonstrate the connection between fundamental knowledge with applications in wind energy; 5) Promote graduate studies for underrepresented students in the area of wind energy and turbulence; and 6) Establish the ?First World Wall-Turbulence Meeting? with the purpose of building an international collaboration to address key questions in turbulence and wind energy.The workshop will uniquely address the following scientific, engineering, and energy policy topics at intersection of atmospheric turbulence and wind energy: 1) Design and Optimization; 2) Grid Integration, Economics of Wind Energy, and Policy; 3) Offshore Wind Energy; 4) WE Arrays and their Effect on the Micro-climate; and 5) Atmospheric Boundary Layer and High Reynolds Number Flows. Broader ImpactsThe workshop has the potential to promote innovation for wind energy in an international context, and is designed to inspire graduate students, particularly from under-represented groups, to pursue interdisciplinary study in science and engineering topics at the nexus of atmospheric science and wind engineering. Towards this end, the workshop will aim to have more than 50% of student participants from under-represented groups.
