This proposed project is for the National Renewable Energy Laboratory(NREL)/Department of Energy (DOE) funding and expertise to establish a Regional Test Center (RTC) in conjunction with Kansas State University (KSU). These activities are part of an overall project to help establish self supporting RTCs that would offer small wind turbine certification testing to the industry by subsidizing the cost of testing the initial turbines and providing advice and mentoring to the RTCs. This effort is part of an industry effort to establish a small wind certification infrastructure to increase consumer confidence in small wind turbine technology.
