Energy Management

NRRI participates in wind and solar renewable energy by providing detailed support for evaluation and demonstration of wind and solar generation equipment.

  • We run remote testing on solar generation arrays to help determine what systems work most efficiently in the Northern Minnesota climate.
  • We identified high-efficiency gearless wind generators to take best advantage of Minnesota’s wind patterns and consistency and support the demonstration on the University of Minnesota Duluth campus.
