3 p.m. ET When people think of wind power, they usually picture large wind projects with long rows of turbines that send energy to distant end-users, but that image doesn't convey the whole story. Distributed wind systems provide energy locally, either serving on-site loads or local distribution grid loads, and can range in size from a less than 1-kilowatt off-grid wind turbine at a remote cabin, to a 10-kilowatt wind turbine at a home or farm, to several multi-megawatt wind turbines at a university campus or manufacturing facility.

WINDExchange will host a webinar to provide updates on the distributed wind market. Nik Foster of Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) will present highlights from the recently published 2014 Distributed Wind Market Report. Alice Orrell of PNNL will walk attendees through the latest updates to the free, online Distributed Wind Policy Comparison Tool. Alice will also summarize distributed wind's inclusion in the Energy Department's Wind Vision, published in March. Ian Baring-Gould will provide an overview of the dWind model.

The webinar is free. Advance registration is not required. Log-in information is below. Please note that the only way to access the audio portion of this webinar is by calling in.
