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.
Distributed Wind Terminology
Task 41 members have compiled a list of terminology related to distributed wind, with definitions gathered from an international review of standards, policies, and research. As distributed wind is not uniformly defined across the world, the terms used to describe it can also vary. This list of terminology can help the international community find common ground when discussing distributed wind, aiding in streamlined collaboration efforts.
