Small Wind Turbines - Alessandro Bianchini - Five Grand Challenges

Interview with Alessandro Bianchin on the grand challenges of small wind turbines:
Grand challenge 1 - improve energy conversion of modern SWTs through better design and control, especially in the case of turbulent wind
Grand challenge 2 - improve prediction and reliability of long-term turbine performance despite limited resource measurements
Grand challenge 3 - improve the economic viability of small wind energy
Grand challenge 4 - facilitate the contribution of SWTs to energy demand and electrical system integration
Grand challenge 5 - foster engagement, social acceptance, and deployment for global distributed wind markets
“Addressing these challenges is not an easy task,” says Professor Alessandro Bianchini. “We need a holistic approach combining different disciplines and actors, from researchers to academia and to politics and people.”
