The NIST-funded SMART Wind Consortium will host a Manufacturing Forum focused on scaling up, lean manufacturing processes, automation and robotics to help in efforts to develop a consensus-based Distributed Wind Technology Roadmap that identifies common distributed wind manufacturing gaps and barriers, prioritizes solutions to those gaps for today and for future scalability, and facilitates a rapid transfer of innovation into American-manufactured wind turbines. The Roadmap will lead the way to new market opportunities and more distributed wind applications, thereby maintaining U.S. global competitiveness and leadership.
