SUMMARY:SMART Wind Roadmap Virtual Briefing – hosted by DWEA in partnership with WINDExchange
DESCRIPTION:Panelists | Key Takeaways | Consortium Participants | Roadmap File Downloads\nThe distributed wind industry stands dedicated to advancing technology\, lowering manufacturing costs\, and being a competitive electricity generation source for the U.S. to rely on for energy independence. The Distributed Wind Energy Association (DWEA) convened the targeted SMART Wind Consortium to develop a consensus-based\, shared-vision Roadmap that identifies common distributed wind research and 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. This initiative will open up new market opportunities and expand the number of distributed wind applications\, thereby maintaining U.S. global competitiveness and leadership. \nJoin members of the SMART Wind Consortium for a 90-minute Roadmap briefing highlighting the top priority action steps identified by the Consortium to address key distributed wind industry barriers and opportunities. \nThe webinar is free. A GoToMeeting weblink and dial-in instructions will be provided in your registration confirmation e-mail. \n \nPowered by Eventbrite

SUMMARY:DOE Distributed Wind Soft Costs Discussion
DESCRIPTION:The U.S. Department of Energy has identified high non-hardware balance-of-system (“soft”) costs as a barrier to distributed wind system deployment. To better understand the soft cost reduction potential for distributed wind systems\, DOE’s national labs\, NREL and PNNL\, will work with industry to categorize soft costs and create a soft costs data set. Please join DOE\, NREL\, and PNNL as they kick off efforts to categorize and benchmark soft costs associated with distributed wind systems. This will be an interactive session with industry and stakeholder feedback on specific categories for the soft costs as well as thoughts on the opportunities to reduce soft costs. \nRegister HERE

SUMMARY:SMART Wind Consortium Virtual Electrical Subgroup Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Mark your calendar for Monthly SMART Wind Virtual Meetings!\nElectrical Subgroup Meeting: April 29\, 1-2 pm ET\n \nAll interested stakeholders are invited to participate in the Distributed Wind Energy Association (DWEA) SMART Wind Consortium virtual meeting for the Consortium’s Electrical Subgroup featuring Jim Sims\, Vice President Corporate Communications for Molycorp\, Inc.\, presenting on “Rare Earth Magnets in Distributed Wind Turbines.” Dr. Xing Chen\, Argonne National Laboratory\, will also present on rare earth magnets. Following the presentations\, we will lead a subgroup discussion to hear your thoughts and ideas. \nThe Electrical Subgroup met face-to-face in Washington\, DC\, on March 26\, 2015\, where distributed wind manufacturers and designers\, members of the power electronics industry\, alternator experts\, consultants\, and academic researchers discussed important topics such as inverter technology\, cost- effective power electronics\, rare earth magnets\, smart grid\, and opportunities in technology advances and manufacturing methods for cost reduction and reliability improvement. \nDWEA launched the U.S. Department of Commerce-funded Sustainable Manufacturing\, Advanced Research and Technology (SMART) Wind Consortium in October 2014\, starting a 2-year process of creating a U.S. Distributed Wind Roadmap to identify advanced manufacturing gaps and opportunities. The Consortium consists of four subgroups\, focused on Mechanical Systems\, Support Structures\, Composites\, and Electrical Systems. All subgroups have participated in face-to-face kickoff meetings; subsequent subgroup meetings will be held virtually\, leading up to the final Roadmap Prioritization meeting in March 2016. \nYou will receive the GoToMeeting login information after you register. If you would like to receive notices of future SMART Wind meetings\, please sign up for subgroups at: https://distributedwind.org/smart-wind-sign-up/ \nWe look forward to your virtual participation in this important project for the U.S. distributed wind industry. \n\n \nEvent registration for SMART Wind Consortium Virtual Electrical Subgroup Meeting powered by Eventbrite
