Page 1 of 5 Renewable Energy Center ProjectsThe core work of the Renewable Energy Center is carried out through technical projects. Wind EnergySome areas in Nevada have wind conditions suitable for utility scale electricity production. Nevada’s total wind resources have an estimated electricity generating potential of 55 million MWhr/year. However, the wind resources are highly variable in space, time, speed, and direction. Better understanding of wind profiles and the effects of windshear and turbulence on turbine performance and reliability is needed. Through the NSWEP Program, DRI is helping Nevada tap into its wind resource. Projects
