The U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) in partnership with the University of Colorado is proposing to install and conduct research with an acoustic tomography system that would measure two-dimensional wind profiles. The system installation and research would be conducted at the National Wind Technology Center (NWTC). The NWTC is a federally-owned facility that consists of 305 acres and is primarily utilized for wind energy research, development, and testing. The site is located southeast of the intersection of Colorado Highway 93 and C0-128, in Jefferson County, Colorado.
