WIND TURBINE PROJECT
DMACC has received a $131,500 from the State Energy Program to construct a Wind Turbine on the Ankeny Campus. Total project cost is estimated at $263,500 and is scheduled to be completed by December 31, 2010.
DMACC has partnered with the Iowa Energy Center, housed near the proposed wind turbine site in Building 23. They will provide data acquisition equipment to monitor the energy performance.
The proposed wind turbine will be at least 50KW and will provide a minimum of 129,062 kWh of energy.
The wind turbine will also be utilized for DMACC's Wind Energy and Turbine Technician program, and by DMACC's Continuing Education Department. Students will gain direct experience with wind power generation and transmission, data acquisition and assessment, and mechanical system applications.
