Wind Technology Status, Cost, and Performance Reference Guide

Wind power continues to increase as a percentage of overall domestic and global electricity generation. As integrated resource planners and project developers consider making new or expanded investments in wind power, they need accurate technical information to support their choices. This report serves as a reference document for the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) report 2021 Wind Technology Status, Cost, and Performance (EPRI, Palo Alto, CA: 2021), providing a technical overview and technology update of the key components of wind turbines and discussing considerations both for the development of a utility-scale wind project and for the project life cycle. References to additional EPRI reports that offer deeper insights on specific technologies and research areas are provided throughout the report.
