Distributed Wind
Portfolio Evolution
Provide national leadership by redefining distributed wind to including all wind
technologies used in distributed applications (not just small wind turbines) and
establish new R&D priorities.
Goal: By 2015, expand the market for small
wind technologies five fold from 2007 baseline.
Goal: By 2020, increase the number of certified small and medium wind
turbine models to forty from 2010 baseline of zero.
Target: DW COE competitive with other
distributed generation technologies.

attention.
¾ Issues well understood as a result of increased solar penetration.
¾
Wind Program an active participant in the broader DOE Grid Modernization effort, which includes distributed wind energy
integration in building energy management systems and micro grids.

Certification Outreach
Adoption of distributed wind systems has been hindered by untested technologies, unverified
claims about turbine performance, and high-profile equipment failures.
Certification and quality assurance requirements can help prevent unethical
marketing and false claims, promote solid products, and can be adopted by local planning
officials, utilities, banks, state energy offices, and federal agencies to ensure consumer protection and industry
credibility.
By 2020, DOE’s goal is to increase the number of certified small and medium wind
turbine designs to forty (40).
¾ As of February 2015, thirteen (13) small wind turbine models are fully certified to the AWEA
Standard with power performance ratings, sound level ratings and design and duration test compliance, and 2
medium wind turbine models have certified power performance and acoustics reports from accredited U.S.
certification organizations.
DOE is working to promote certification of distributed wind systems within the
federal government:
¾ Issued a guidance memo to federal agencies encouraging funds be expended only on certified machines.
¾ Provided technical support to Treasury during the revision of Section 48 guidance for small wind.
