Acoustic Tomography System: Cooperative Research and Development Final Report

Summary

This report details the finalization of a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) to install an acoustic tomography system at the National Wind Technology Center (NWTC). The system, comprising 9 towers with microphones and speakers, is designed to measure complex wind flow fields around wind turbine arrays, which affect energy production and reliability. While the installation phase of this unique measurement technology is complete, NREL and University of Colorado researchers are actively seeking funding to conduct the actual research utilizing the system.
