Research Interest:
I have been working on the future of wind turbine development, analyzing parameters such as location, turbine type, and wind resources to provide optimum power output and configuration. Looking at current US Energy Policy, net-metered and wind farm projects are both heavily reliant on tax incentives, and otherwise are very expensive. I am trying to find an affordable approach to make wind a readily available option, by comparing current US practices to current global practices, and integrating my software for maximum power advantage.
