SUMMARY:Wind Turbine Generators: The Basics\, Chaos & Complex Systems 
 Seminar\, Mitch Bradt\, Program Manager\, Department of Engineering Pr
 ofessional Development
DESCRIPTION:During the years 2005 - 2009\, US wind energy installation
 s experienced growth annual growth rates of 20-45% capacity increase. 
 In the talk\, the speaker will give a presentation on some of the fund
 amental technical background on this maturing energy source. This will
  include the mechanical and electrical sides of the energy conversion 
 process\, a sample of Annual Energy Production estimates as well as th
 e concept of Capacity Factor. We'll take you to the top of a turbine t
 o see the equipment inside--hold onto your hat\, it's 100 meters to th
 e top! Then we'll climb back down and follow the electrons to the bulk
  transmission grid\, onto the the distribution grid\, and finally to y
 our house to power your lights\, ovens\, and flatscreens.
