提案编号：1519253机构：马萨诸塞州洛厄尔大学首席研究员：大卫威利斯标题：2015年风能研究研讨会风能是一种自然资源，用于清洁和可持续的电力生产。2015年风能研究研讨会，由马萨诸塞州洛厄尔大学（UNL）主办，将于2015年10月中旬在UNL校园举行。 大约175名研讨会参与者，包括教师和学生，来自国家实验室的研究人员，来自行业的代表，以及来自州和联邦机构的政府官员，将创造一个多样化的观众与知识的集体财富，以确定相关的研究机会，需要推动风能在美国的持续商业发展。为期两天的研讨会将包括主题演讲，邀请演讲，海报，展览，实地考察和小组讨论。 2015年风能研究研讨会的主持人，讨论领导者和参与者将参与四项活动：1）确定目前存在于风能行业的研究差距，2）确定未来的研究方向，将提供直接和长期的利益，以国家？的能力，利用风能，3）交换信息，通过几个小组会议与著名的和知识渊博的发言人，和4）教育风能社区有关的问题，需要解决，以减少风能的成本。 分组会议将包括以下主题：风力涡轮机制造，结构健康监测诊断，复合材料，风力资源表征传感，计算建模，能源存储，智能电网传输。讲习班将通过出版一份报告传播材料和知识，其中载有所有公开发表的发言，并将突出每个重点领域的成果。将创建一个网站，以张贴演示幻灯片沿着小组会议的视频。

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.
