| Standards Support: In conjunction with the US-DOE and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory DWEA led an effort to update the American national certification standard for small wind turbines, AWEA 9.1-2009 to incorporate lessons learned from over a decade of use and to lessen the burden and costs of certification. The existing standard had been identified as a barrier to innovation. DWEA conducted technical expert and stakeholder meetings and drafted revisions to the standard that then entered into an ANSI-accredited review and approval process under the American Clean Power Association. | $25,188 | $18,000 |
