This proposed project would consist of developing techniques for inspecting wind turbines with Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory’s (NREL) National Wind Technology Center (NWTC), located southeast of the intersection of Colorado Highway (CO) 93 and C)-128 in Jefferson County, Colorado. The NWTC is a federally-owned facility that consists of 305 acres and is primarily utilized for wind energy research, development and testing.
