SUNY Sullivan’s Wind Turbine Tech program kicked off this fall and the college is wasting no time in getting its own wind turbine up and running on campus.

Instructors and students are installing the college’s new wind turbine, reinforcing the college’s commitment to leading-edge green education, the creation of a Green Talent Pipeline, and proactively greening their campus.

With a completion date in mid-December, the foundation for the turbine has been laid, the turbine delivered, inspected and prepared. Installation is slated to begin in late November.

SUNY Sullivan faculty, staff, and students from the Wind Turbine Technology program and the Green Building Maintenance & Management program are installing the wind turbine. The new Xzeres 110, 2.5 kilowatt wind turbine (www.xzeres.com) will be installed on a 60-foot hinging monopole which will allow future students to work with and maintain the turbine.

 

The turbine will be “grid tied", wired directly into the college’s power system, allowing the college to utilize power produced by the turbine to offset electric bills. The turbine adds to innovative green features of the campus, including solar arrays and a geothermal system.
