Appalachian Energy Center Appalachian Energy Center hosts a Hands-on Distributed Wind Energy Workshop annually at their Small Wind Research and Demonstration Site located on Beech Mountain, NC. Participants will experience a crash course in distributed wind energy, learn how to determine if wind is right for them (and others), and install a small wind turbine. The workshop includes continuing educa- tion credits for engineers and architects. www.energy.appstate.edu Iowa Lakes Community College Providing wind energy education and training since 2004, Iowa Lakes Community College offers the AAS in Wind Energy & Turbine Technology and continues to adapt to the changing wind industry landscape. Competencies that enhance their student’s resumes through advanced safety, realism, challenge, and mentorship, the team at Iowa Lakes Community College invests in student's development, providing a positive impact on America’s energy and environmental future. www.iowalakes.edu Nergica Nergica owns and operates a research site that comprises two Senvion MM92 CCV wind turbines,16kW of solar PV panels, a microgrid comprising small wind turbines, diesel genera- tors, and energy storage systems, two 413ft (126m) met masts, and two lidars. Their services are tailored to their clients needs, including technology development and assessment, opera- tion and maintenance, applied meteorology and energy resources, energy storage and grid management, commercialization of innovations and cold climate suitability, and microgrids. www.nergica.com Safety Technology USA, LLC Safety Technology USA specializes in the delivery of GWO accredited training for technicians in the wind sector. Training modules include both the GWO Basic Safety Training and GWO Basic Technical Training. Training courses are delivered from facilities in Texas, Iowa, and Kansas as well as onsite, subject to risk assess- ments, at operators locations. www.safetytechnologyusa.com University of British Columbia The Master of Engineering Leadership (MEL) in Clean Energy Engineering is a professional degree for engineers who want to excel and drive innovation in the field of clean energy. This hybrid master’s program combines graduate-level engineer- ing courses with UBC Sauder’s Robert H. Lee Graduate School courses, giving students and professionals the skills and confi- dence to take their career in new directions. www.apscpp.ubc.ca/programs/mel/clean-energy-engineering/ Electrical Equipment & Services | Power Generation Alencon Systems Alencon Systems builds a variety of power conversion products that can be applied to wind. The Alencon BOSS can be used to couple storage with wind projects in order to capture otherwise clipped energy and firm wind energy production. The Alencon SPOT can be used to collocate PV and wind. www.alenconsystems.com North American Clean Energy 45
