ILLINOIS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY
Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT), with an ABET accredited engineering program, will lead an extensive effort in forming a world-class wind energy consortium of multiple universities (domestic and international) and multiple industry participants (all types of wind energy stakeholders) to perform focused research and development on critical wind energy challenges identified in the ?20% Wind Energy by 2030? report, including wind technology challenge, grid system integration, and workforce development. In particular, (1) The consortium members will develop control algorithms for enhancing the reliability of wind turbine components; (2) The consortium members will develop advanced operation and planning tools for accommodating the high penetration of intermittent wind energy in electric power utility systems. (3) The consortium members will educate the stakeholders on critical issues related to the wind energy research and development. (4) The world-class wind energy education and research programs developed by the consortium will outlast the proposed two-year period of the project.
The proposed wind energy consortium will work with the world leading wind energy developer, Invenergy, which is headquartered in Chicago, to procure and install a 1.5MW GE wind unit, and perform relevant turbine reliability studies. The proposed site for the wind unit installation is the Invenergy?s wind farm at the LaSalle County (adjacent to Marseilles), Illinois. Invenergy?s extensive experience in the deployment and operation of large numbers of wind turbines in the United States will provide guidance to the proposed wind consortium for conducting world-class wind energy research and development. The consortium will also work with the world-leading small wind turbine manufacturer, Viryd Technologies, to procure and install an 8KW Viryd wind unit which will be installed in one of the engineering laboratories and used for performing relevant turbine reliability studies.
The proposed project will be performed in phases. In Phase 1, the consortium members will install a utility-scale wind turbine at a wind farm and a small wind turbine at IIT. In Phase 2, the consortium members will perform research on the wind turbine reliability. In Phase 3, the consortium members will perform wind energy related research and development to facilitate the integration of wind into the electric power grid system. In Phase 4, the consortium members will engage in the workforce development for wind energy research, design, and integration.
