Coastal Wind: Energy for North Carolina\u2019s Future<\/em><\/a>, that identifies and analyzes the wind power resource, potential and ecological impacts, geological foundation constraints, power transmission issues, and legal and regulatory barriers associated with wind energy production off North Carolina\u2019s coast. The report identifies key areas along North Carolina\u2019s coast most feasible for wind energy projects that do not significantly conflict with military airspace or natural and cultural resources.<\/p>\nThe report was submitted to the General Assembly in July 2009. Based on the study\u2019s results, the legislature appropriated funds to continue the research. In addition, the legislature authorized up to three turbines in Pamlico Sound to serve as a demonstration project. UNC-Chapel Hill has partnered with Duke Energy for the demonstration project, the goals of which are to determine the viability of offshore wind as a scalable renewable energy resource, to optimize measuring and predicting the wind as an energy source, quantify ecological impacts and demonstrate turbine performance and survivability in severe tropical storm conditions.<\/p>\n
