In February 2017, the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Wind Energy Technologies Office held their Peer Review Meeting in Arlington, Virginia. The purpose of the meetings was to evaluate wind energy research and development projects funded by DOE between 2014 and 2016 for contributions to DOE’s mission and goals, and to assess progress made against stated objectives.
