About the Topic

Advances in wind generation technology are making wind power increasingly competitive. This talk will discuss the progress made in wind power generation so far and the possible paths the technology will take in the future. Mohit will discuss various aspects of wind power generation including turbine and plant technology as well as grid integration, especially the grid integration work he did at NREL.
