Channel 2 (WLBZ) and its Channel 6 affiliate in Portland (WCSH) carried a wind energy news report Tuesday featuring UMaine graduate student Heather Martin of the UMaine AEWC Advanced Structures and Composites Center, Maine Maritime Academy students and MMA professor Richard Kimball, who are collectively leading the way in offshore windmill research. The team will test a 1/50 scale model wind turbine in the Netherlands in the coming weeks to prepare full size turbines for harsh oceanic conditions.
