Clemson World: Clemson at the Forefront of Wind Energy Quest

The NSCWT is proud to have Dr. Nick Rigas of Clemson University as a part of our team. This current article in Clemson World Magazine by Peter Hull does an excellent job of describing his project in Charleston, SC.  When complete, this facility will have the greatest capacity of any wind turbine drive-train testing site in the world.

In doing so, the Restoration Institute brought to South Carolina one of the most important wind energy research and development initiatives in the world and placed Clemson at the forefront of the nation’s alternative energy quest.

The move is expected to generate an economic boom for the region by creating new jobs and an industry cluster that will complement Clemson’s other economic development successes: the Clemson University International Center for Automotive Research (CU-ICAR) in Greenville and the Clemson University Advanced Materials Center in Anderson County.
