SUMMER UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH IN WIND INNOVATION AND DEVELOPMENT: SUR-WInD This NSF Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) project is a nine week summer program (May 26th and July 26th) where students work collaboratively on a wide variety of wind-power related projects. SUR-WInD students will be exposed to a broad range of research projects motivated by what has now become a national interest in offshore wind power. The SUR-WInD program involves ten students every summer. Each student receives a stipend of $4,500, and free housing in university dormitories. Up to $300 is available for travel assistance. Participating students, purposefully drawn from diverse backgrounds and experience, will be immersed in ongoing research projects and seminars that involve: Factors affecting the design and deployment of offshore foundations Materials factors, energy storage, and grid integration for intermittent generation How local wind conditions influence the configuration of large offshore wind arrays Choices of turbine operating states and selection of turbine characteristics The impact of energy economics through seminar-based interactions with industry speakers Research Project Examples: Assessment and redesign of a 50kw induction generator turbine Cup anemometer calibration, wind velocity and turbulence analysis Turbulence sensors in turbine blades Measurement and analysis off-shore wind and ice flow Optimal placement in large wind farms/wake modeling Energy storage for intermittent renewables Effect of ice loading on offshore wind foundations Structural behavior of Wind Turbines turbines Integration of renewable resources into the grid Eligibility: Undergraduate students in engineering or science U.S. Citizen or permanent resident Minorites and women strongly encouraged The application deadline is February 28th 2014.
