2nd NREL Wind Energy Systems Engineering Workshop Agenda
Overview
The 2nd NREL Wind Energy Systems Engineering Workshop will take place on the 29th and 30th of January 2013. The first workshop in January 2010 was a success in catalyzing interest in this important topic among participants from industry, the national laboratories and academia. In the last few years, the interest in systems engineering and techno-economic modeling of wind energy systems has grown substantially. At this 2 day workshop, we will showcase research and development activity in these areas and provide plenty of opportunity for discussion about potential future developments and collaborations. Follow-on meetings on the 31st of January and 1st of February will feature software tutorials smaller group meetings for discussion.
