The U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), in collaboration Siemens Corporation and Camp Six Labs, Inc., proposes to demonstrate advancements in wind turbine blade inspections and to measure lighting protection system resistance.
Work would be conducted at NREL’s National Wind Technology Center (NWTC), located southeast of the intersection of Colorado Highway (CO) 93 and CO-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. Project activities would take place exclusively with the Siemen’s 2.3 MW research turbine at Site 4.4.
