reported about the event.

One of the most significant barriers to deploying midsize turbines in the United States today is the lack of options. Surprisingly, there are few midsize turbines for sale on the market. To fill this technology gap, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) will launch a Midsize Wind Turbine Development Project in FY 2010 to facilitate the development and commercialization of midsize wind turbines. This project will assist U.S. manufacturers and wind turbine designers in producing near-term commercial value-engineered midsize turbine prototypes.

To facilitate collaboration between wind turbine designers and U.S. manufacturers and to build awareness of the DOE-NREL Midsize Wind Turbine Development Project, NREL is sponsoring two workshops facilitated by the Great Lakes Wind Network.

The format for the workshops will include panel presentations by turbine designers and manufacturers, information about the NREL's National Wind Technology Center, discussions about existing and future manufacturing opportunities, and a chance to network.

The next conference will be held on April 8, 2010 at Northeastern State University in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. Cost for this full day event is only $95.
