Wind Energy Student Organization
The Wind Energy Student Organization (WESO) is a group of students (undergraduate and graduate) with a passion for wind energy. They have a diverse background and a common interest. The group is currently designing and building a 1 kW wind turbine that will be installed on campus when complete. The WESL supports this project by providing some of the tools and resources necessary to design a prototype, including power supplies, loads, power electronics, and analysis tools. If you would like to join this project, please visit the WESO web page and contact them.
