IMSE Faculty Conduct Study on Wind Turbine Manufacturing

 

Iowa Power Fund helps Iowa State establish Wind Energy Manufacturing Laboratory

IMSE professors Matt Frank, Frank Peters and John Jackman (along with Aerospace Engineering professor Vinay Dayal) are working to establish a Wind Energy Manufacturing Laboratory on campus.

The researchers' work is supported by a three-year $6.3 million project called the "Advanced Manufacturing Innovation Initiative."  One third of the project's funding is from the Iowa Power Fund; a state program to advance energy innovation and independence.  Equal shares of funding is coming from TPI Composites (a Scottsdale, Ariz.-based company that operates a turbine blade factory in Newton, Iowa) and the U.S. Department of Energy.
