Grand Valley shares research at international wind energy conference
May 15, 2013
A group of faculty and staff members from Grand Valley attended the
WINDPOWER Conference and Exhibition — the largest annual wind energy
event in the world — in Chicago May 6-8.
T. Arnold (Arn) Boezaart, director of Grand Valley’s Michigan
Alternative and Renewable Energy Center; Charlie Standridge, assistant
dean of the Padnos College of Engineering and Computing; and Jim
Edmonson, project manager for the university’s Lake Michigan Offshore
Wind Assessment Project shared information about the project during a
poster presentation May 7.
“It’s important that Grand Valley has a presence at these kind
of events,” said Boezaart. “We did a lot of networking and talking
with others who would be interested in using our technology and data
from the offshore wind project. We also learned about new technology
and trends in the wind industry.”
The conference was organized by the American Wind Energy
Association, of which Grand Valley is an institutional member.
Monthly data summaries and other preliminary information
collected from the Lake Michigan Offshore Wind Assessment Project are
available on ScholarWorks at scholarworks.gvsu.edu.
