The January 27 site visit of the Eolos Wind Energy Research Field Station highlights federal investments in renewable energy research and development. 

On October 25, 2011, Eolos celebrated the commissioning of its new Wind Research Field Station in Rosemount, Minnesota.

The rapid increase in the number of wind farms has created serious concerns about wind turbine interference on surveillance, navigation and Doppler weather radars. 

Eolos researchers are investigating turbulent wakes produced by wind turbines. Researcher are using wind tunnel experiments, field investigation and CFD to gain new insights into the complexities of turbulence production and how wakes should be considered in wind farm siting.
