Component Innovation & System Optimization Topic Area - CIP Informational Workshop 2021
NREL has conducted requests for Competitiveness Improvement Project proposals for seven award topics. The selection of topics is guided by available funds and input from the wind industry about specific areas of concern. Here you can access the 2021 CIP Informational Workshop recording covering the Component Innovations & System Optimization award topics. Projects for the Component Innovations award topic support innovation in existing wind generator designs to improve components, leading to a reduced levelized cost of energy. Projects for the System Optimization award topic support improvements in existing wind generator designs to optimize the full system or a subsystem of components, leading to a reduced levelized cost of energy.
