The 2025 CWC (Collegiate Wind Competition)

The Collegiate Wind Competiton (CWC) is a national event organized by the Department of Energy (DOE) that challenges universities across the country. Teams are challenged with turbine design and construction, performance, project management, and more. As the electrical engineering sub team, our aim is to focus on the necessary electronic systems for NAU’s CWC team to compete in the final phase of the competition.

Project Significance

As the world struggles with the pressing challenges of climate change and energy security, renewable energy sources have emerged as crucial solutions for a sustainable future. Among these, wind energy stands out as one of the most promising and rapidly growing forms of clean energy. Harnessing the power of the wind, this technology transforms natural forces into electricity, offering a viable alternative to fossil fuels. With advancements in turbine design and increased efficiency, along with the vast amount of space for wind turbine farms; wind energy not only reduces greenhouse gas emissions but also stimulates economic growth and job opportunities in local communities.
