According to their website (
visit link) the Wind Energy Institute of Canada is a not-for-profit entity formed in 1981 that advances the development of wind energy across Canada through research, testing, innovation and collaboration.
Further to my point above, the Institute has 300 degree exposure to the water, average wind speeds of 8.2 metres per second at 50 metres, and numerous icing events per year.
The laboratory features a 10 MW Wind R&D Park, a storage test bed, meteorological towers and a small wind test bed, as well as other facilities. These, in addition to our extensive data sets and experienced personnel, provide opportunities for government, public/private sector companies and academia to research, demonstrate, test and validate technologies and concepts in a real world setting.
