Third International Workshop on Grid Simulator Testing of Wind Turbine Drivetrains
NREL, Clemson University, and Florida State University hosted the Third International Workshop on Grid Simulator Testing of Energy Systems and Wind Turbine Powertrains at the Center for Advanced Power Systems on the Florida State University Campus in Tallahassee, Florida, Nov. 5–6, 2015.
The purpose of the workshop was to discuss the research and testing needs involved in grid compliance testing of utility-scale wind turbine generators.
The goal of the workshop was to encourage interactive discussions among panelists, moderators, and workshop participants. Download the list of workshop attendees and agenda.
