Comparative Alternative Energy Generation Testbed

Project Goals

The primary objective of this project is to provide the greater UVM community with a quantitative demonstration of the performance potential and potential lmitations associated with two common and attractive alternative energy schemes: solar power and wind harvesting. Throughout the duration of the project, the day-to-day and long-term power generation characteristics of a scaled-down testbed will be reported on this web site.
