This past week, seven teams of students from across the country gathered at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory's National Wind Technology Center for a fierce blade-to-blade wind turbine rematch. At the Energy Department's Collegiate Wind Competition 2015 Engineering Contest, seven teams of undergraduates tested original model wind turbines in an on-site wind tunnel and presented their technical designs to wind technology experts. The full Collegiate Wind Competition, comprised of engineering, business, and deployment tasks, is held in even-numbered years and is designed to challenge undergraduate students from a variety of disciplines to develop unique solutions to complex wind energy problems. Teams that participated in the inaugural 2014 competition in Las Vegas, Nevada, were invited back to improve on their designs and technical solutions during last week's contest.
