In an effort to improve technology transfer from the Department of Energy and the national labs, to the U.S. wind energy industry, this survey is necessary to collect data from industry members in order to identify:
⢠New and improved research capabilities and tools that would be valuable to the wind industry
⢠Opportunities for, and barriers to, national laboratory and industry collaboration on technology development and transfer in those high-value areas.
