Abstract
In 2008, the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) National Renewable Energy Laboratory began testing small wind turbines (SWTs) through the independent testing project. Four SWTs were selected for testing at NREL's National Wind Technology Center, accredited by the American Association of Laboratory Accreditation to conduct power performance, power quality, noise, safety and function, and duration tests to IEC standards. The paper reports results of testing to date, and puts the results in perspective for the average consumer. Other topics addressed include a description of DOE's second solicitation for independent testing, and a discussion of the DOE's support for developing additional testing centers to conduct preliminary screening of SWTs to identify turbines not ready for the commercial market
