Illinois Institute of Technology (ITT) is proposing to use American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funding to develop an industry/academe wind consortium. Project activities under this proposal include small wind turbine construction and deployment; curriculum and undergraduate degree program development; control algorithms development for enhancing the reliability of wind turbine components; operation and planning tool development for accommodating the high penetration of intermittent wind energy in electric power utility systems; and stakeholder/student education.
