About Task 41
Technology considered within IEA Task 41 includes wind turbines deployed in a distributed application and connected at a distribution voltage (nominally 70 kV) or below in a behind-the-meter, in-front-of-the-meter, or an off-grid application.
In the context of this IEA Task, distributed wind includes all scales of wind turbine technologies and is agnostic to the business model, although, in some instances (e.g., technology standards), more specific industry segregation is included. This is expected to be a 4-year effort.
What Is IEA Wind Task 41?
Ian Baring-Gould (National Renewable Energy Laboratory, USA) and Danielle Preziuso (Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, USA) discuss how IEA Task 41’s collaborative work helps enable distributed wind energy to play a role in the global energy transition. The National Renewable Energy Laboratory produced this video with funding from the U.S. Department of Energy (USA).
IEA Wind Task 41: The Importance of International Collaboration
IEA Wind Task 41 members Alexander Hirschl (University of Applied Sciences Technikum Wien, Austria) and Francesco Castellani (University of Perugia, Italy) discuss how international collaboration around distributed wind energy can streamline processes, overcome barriers, and advance independence from fossil fuels. The National Renewable Energy Laboratory produced this video with funding from the U.S. Department of Energy.
Distributed wind energy refers to electricity generated by wind turbines at or near the place where the electricity is consumed. Distributed wind turbines can partially or entirely power houses, farms, schools, businesses, and even sailboats! International Energy Agency Task 41 members Ian Baring-Gould (National Renewable Energy Laboratory, USA) and Mark Runacres (University of Brussels, Belgium) explain distributed wind energy’s benefits and important role in the future development of renewable energy. The video is produced by NREL (National Renewable Energy Laboratory, USA)
