Abstracts

IMPORTANT UPDATES

Presenting authors (podium or poster) must be registered for the conference by 8.1.2026 or their abstracts will be removed from the program.

Each presenting author can present a maximum of two accepted abstracts, independent of type (podium or poster).

Authors accepted for an oral presentation are invited to submit a full paper for review and possible publication in Wind Energy Science (WES).

NAWEA/WindTech papers will have publication charges reduced by 20%. Journal submissions are due by October 30, 2026.

The journal submission, review and accept/reject decisions are overseen by the journal and follow standard journal review procedures.

 

The 2026 NAWEA/WindTech Conference will be hosted by Portland State University in Portland, Oregon, USA, September 21-23, 2026 (with a Graduate Student Symposium, Drivetrain Reliability Collaborative Workshop, educational events, and other side meetings before and after the conference). Abstract submission is now open, and we encourage novel contributions from wind energy students, faculty members, researchers, industry , and governmental representatives from around the world to apply.

Those interested in presenting their research at the conference will need to submit an up-to three-page abstract for podium or poster presentation using the Word or LaTeX template by April 24, 2026. The Scientific Committee will review submitted abstracts and notify authors of acceptance before early bird registration ends. Abstracts can be submitted in any of the following track topics:
