AWEA Wind Power
Supply Chain Workshop
December 8 - 9, 2008
The InterContinental Cleveland
Cleveland, OH
The American Wind Energy Association is proud to host its 2nd Supply Chain Workshop in 2008.
After the first workshop attracted over 600 representatives from a diverse range of industries, including foundries, tooling companies, gearbox manufacturers, railroads and other transportation providers, electronics manufacturers and metal fabricators, as well as state economic development officers, it was clear that a second workshop was needed to meet the needs of the industry.
The wind industry is experiencing unprecedented growth, which is bringing major supply chain challenges to the industry while it aggressively “ramps up” domestic manufacturing of wind turbines and their components. As a result, there is significant opportunity for state and local governments, manufacturers and component suppliers across all industries to help feed the supply chain and grow their business.
Topics to be covered:
- Introduction to Wind Energy, aka Wind Energy 101
- The technology behind wind turbines
- The state of the wind industry, yesterday and today
- Rapid growth and economic potential of wind projects
- Challenges and constraints within the supply chain
- Opportunities to address supply chain constraints
- Who's who in the production of wind turbines
Who should attend:
- Wind turbine manufacturers
- Manufacturers and suppliers of a wide range of mechanical and
electrical components, including generators, hydraulics, sensors, hardware, drives, power distribution, composites, cabling, big steel, castings, forgings, bearings, gearboxes.
- Turbine component manufacturers seeking to establish operations
in the U.S.
- Construction equipment and suppliers such as cranes, concrete, rebar
- Transportation companies supporting large scale items over land,
rail and sea
- State and local offices of economic development
- Operations and maintenance service companies
- Consultants
- Project Developer / Operator
