Stay current on the news about the wind side of the Wind and Water Power Program and important wind energy events around the U.S.
This is the October 2012 Edition of the Wind Program Newsletter, a quarterly publication that provides updates on the Wind Program's funded activities and R & D news.
This book provides comprehensive coverage of all aspects of wind energy and wind power, with information on the design, development, and financing of wind power systems, small wind power consumer guide for homeowners and businesses, federal government incentives for development, Department of Energy plans and programs, siting and environmental issues, and much more. Contents include: Introduction to Wind Energy: The Basics; Federal Incentives for Wind Power Deployment; Wind Power Today 2010; Small Wind Electric Systems - U.S. Consumer's Guide; 20% Wind Energy by 2030 Report Summary; Wind Energy Multiyear Program Plan for 2007 To 2012; 20% Wind Energy by 2030 - Increasing Wind Energy's Contribution to U.S. Electricity Supply (DOE Report); U.S. Wind Manufacturing Workshop: Achieving 20% Wind Energy by 2030. This large compendium, equating to over 300 book pages, is a excellent reference source for up-to-date wind power information. There is a full list of federal incentive programs, including tax programs, grants, and other programs. For homeowners, farmers, ranchers, and small businesses, the consumer guide to small wind electric systems answers many questions: Is Wind Energy Practical for Me? What Size Wind Turbine Do I Need? What are the Basic Parts of a Small Wind Electric System? What Do Wind Systems Cost? Where Can I Find Installation and Maintenance Support? How Much Energy Will My System Generate? Is There Enough Wind on My Site? How Do I Choose the Best Site for My Wind Turbine? Can I Connect My System to the Utility Grid? Can I Go "Off-Grid"? Glossaries and acronym lists describe confusing wind energy terms. On a national level, several DOE documents describe the federal research and development program, with a focus on the goal of 20% wind energy by 2030. The results of a recent workshop examine the status of America's wind energy manufacturing capability. For more than 25 years, the Wind Energy Program, one element of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Wind and Hydropower Technology Program (WHTP) under the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE), has been a central component of the Nation's efforts to advance wind energy technology for large utility-scale and smaller distributed wind technologies. The Wind Program has worked in close partnership with industry and the national laboratories to expand the wind energy technology base and foster innovation, culminating in some of industry's leading products today. The program has also created a family of internationally recognized wind turbine design tools that have led industry, utility, and government agencies in cooperative efforts to promote integration and acceptance of wind energy as a substantial contributor to meeting the Nation's energy needs.

Wind Powering America is a nationwide initiative of the U.S. Department of Energy's Wind Program designed to educate, engage, and enable critical stakeholders to make informed decisions about how wind energy contributes to the U.S. electricity supply. Visit the Wind Powering America website for wind resource maps, installed wind capacity maps, news, events, webinars, podcasts, success stories,lessons learned, and other information resources. This postcard is a marketing piece that stakeholders can provide to interested parties; it will guide them to this online information resource.
This book provides in-depth coverage of the latest research and development activities concerning innovative wind energy technologies intended to replace fossil fuels on an economical basis. A characteristic feature of the various conversion concepts discussed is the use of tethered flying devices to substantially reduce the material consumption per installed unit and to access wind energy at higher altitudes, where the wind is more consistent. The introductory chapter describes the emergence and economic dimension of airborne wind energy. Focusing on “Fundamentals, Modeling & Simulation”, Part I includes six contributions that describe quasi-steady as well as dynamic models and simulations of airborne wind energy systems or individual components. Shifting the spotlight to “Control, Optimization & Flight State Measurement”, Part II combines one chapter on measurement techniques with five chapters on control of kite and ground stations, and two chapters on optimization. Part III on “Concept Design & Analysis” includes three chapters that present and analyze novel harvesting concepts as well as two chapters on system component design. Part IV, which centers on “Implemented Concepts”, presents five chapters on established system concepts and one chapter about a subsystem for automatic launching and landing of kites. In closing, Part V focuses with four chapters on “Technology Deployment” related to market and financing strategies, as well as on regulation and the environment. The book builds on the success of the first volume “Airborne Wind Energy” (Springer, 2013), and offers a self-contained reference guide for researchers, scientists, professionals and students. The respective chapters were contributed by a broad variety of authors: academics, practicing engineers and inventors, all of whom are experts in their respective fields.
