The conference was the largest in the history of the American Wind Energy Association (AWEA). The large attendance reflects the increased interest and involvement in wind energy technology by a growing number of companies and individuals, and should be seen as one more indication of wind energy`s emergence as the most promising renewable electric technology of the 1990`s. The conference provided a forum for the unveiling of a key goal of the association: To facilitate establishment of 10,000 MW of installed wind capacity by the year 2000. The topics that were discussed include: legislative and regulatory issues, future perspectives, planning and economics, technology advances, project developments, wind characterization, wind turbine dynamics, testing and analysis, design optimization, and international programs. The proceedings contain the full papers of most of the presentations; individual papers are indexed separately.
