Wind Energy Technology Viability

Technology Viability is geared towards reducing the cost of large and small wind energy systems. Technology Viability is managed as three separate activities:

The three Technology Viability activities are closely interrelated. Progress in supporting research and testing results in reductions in the cost of energy, and, thus, contributes directly to the cost goals for low wind speed technology and distributed wind technology.
