The FY 1979 Annual Report of the Rocky Flats Wind Systems Program describes the objectives, approach, and achievements of the program and each of its task areas during the period October 1, 1978-September 28, 1979. During this period, additional testing of 17 small wind energy conversion systems (SWECS) was conducted and the Test Centter's capabilities were expanded to include controlled velocity and vibration testing of SWECS. Work on eight design and analysis projects for advanced prototypes in three size ranges progressed through a series of design reviews and fabrication was initiated. Prototype delivery is scheduled to begin in late 1979. Procurement actions for new 15 kW and 4 kW systems were conducted, with two 15 kW contracts awarded in FY 1979 and three 4 kW awards expected in early FY 1980.
