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. Currently, no such information is
available to labs. The information collected in this survey will be
published in a report and help to inform new possibilities for the
national labs.
