WEATS 2010 - About WEATS
The Wind Energy Applications Training Symposium (WEATS) is an internationally acclaimed workshop on wind energy first launched in 1988. Meet with leaders in the U.S. wind energy industry. Get acquainted with Native American members and participants from other countries. Develop useful contacts and practical expertise that will help you bring a wind energy project to fruition and ensure it operates successfully and profitably for years. WEATS is designed for project planners, developers, utility officials, and engineers directly involved with energy projects, who are considering wind energy development and want to learn more about wind energy technology applications.
The 3 day seminar will provide participants with practical
knowledge
and analytical tools for conducting project pre-feasibility and
identification analysis, and implementation of wind energy projects
large and small. Participants
will learn from National Renewable Energy Laboratory experts and
selected local experts
about the capabilities of the technology, and about economic and
financial aspects of
sustainable project development. When time permits, optional site
visits will be scheduled
after select symposia to allow closeup looks at wind farms or their
manufacture.
