Massachusetts Maritime Academy (Type III Applications)

Application excerpt:

"The Massachusetts Maritime Academy is the first New England state college to install the largest 660KW wind turbine. We have taken steps to be more environmentally responsible state facility by utilizing renewable energies in the form of wind, tidal, solar, biofuel, and fuelcell. The Academy’s wind turbine has become a model campus for other state facilities to follow. We offer our practical and successful experience and any data from current and/or future projects. Our current projects include performing feasible studies for a tidal turbine and improving our marina facility. Climate data such as wind, waves, and tidal need to be analyzed and predicted prior to any implementation. We are actively seeking technologies and data partner for these purposes. "
