Scott began his career at NREL in 1997 when NREL purchased two Westinghouse wind
turbines to install and test at the NWTC. He is now the Technical Operations Manager
at the NWTC. Scott has worked as a supervisor in the wind business since 1988. He
has experience with many different styles of wind turbines and has led large crews
on hoisting and rigging activities and operations and maintenance activities. Scott
installed over 500 wind turbines and complete wind plants in Palm Springs, Altamont,
and Tehachapi, California. He spent four years in Hawaii retrofitting the Westinghouse
600-kW wind turbines on the North Shore of Oahu and brought the Mod 5 3.2 MW wind
turbine back to life. At the time, the Mod 5 was the largest running wind turbine
and was featured in the Guinness Book of World records for size and production. Scott
is a U.S. Marine Corps noncommissioned officer and master electrician.
