Bergey Windpower and Dr. Amy Cerato will work together on a Department of Energy (DOE) National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) Competitive Improvement Project (CIP) grant to design a helical pile foundation for the 15kW turbine and self-supporting lattice tower to increase the speed of installation and lower the cost. Bergey and Dr. Cerato have worked together before on a successful OCAST project when they studied helical anchor behavior under long-term cyclic loading for use with their guyed towers and found that the 3- and 4- helix configuration worked well.
