Website Posts News About Offshore Wind Energy Research Facility

SFGate, the website of the San Francisco Chronicle newspaper, posted a news release from a company that designed, assembled and installed an Environmental Wind Turbine Test Chamber at UMaine’s Offshore Wind Laboratory, which is part of the Advanced Structures and Composites Center on campus. The president of Hastest Solutions, Inc., said in the release he was proud his company has had the opportunity to participate in something “historic in nature.” Center director Habib Dagher said the unique chamber will provide the center the ability to test components of offshore wind turbines under more realistic conditions.
