Info: The Timber Road Solar Park is located in Paulding County, northeast of the town of Payne. The solar park will complement the area’s agricultural resources. Modern wind turbine generators are sophisticated, high-tech machines designed to capture the kinetic energy of the wind and convert it into electricity. A turbine’s blades capture the wind and rotate an internal shaft connected to a gearbox spinning a generator to produce electricity.
The tour begins with a lecture in the conference room at the office of EDP Renewables, located north of Payne, Ohio. The lecture will cover both wind turbines and the solar field located south of the office. After the lecture we will be allowed to inspect the windmill turbine blades stored behind the office building, and if we get permission, we may be allowed to visit one of the wind turbines nearby.

DISCOVER-E
The Northeast Indiana DiscoverE Committee is a standing committee of the Fort Wayne Engineers’ Club. The Northeast Indiana DiscoverE Committee’s mission is to sustain and grow a dynamic engineering profession through outreach, education, celebration, and volunteerism. The DiscoverE Committee shall support the Northeast Indiana region by connecting area engineering companies with engineers and students to encourage retention of local talent within the profession.
The DiscoverE (formerly National Engineers Week Foundation) mission is to sustain and grow a dynamic engineering profession through outreach, education, celebration, and volunteerism. DiscoverE helps stakeholders expand community and educational outreach by:
- Providing resources and turnkey programs for employees and volunteers
- Supporting strong workforce diversity initiatives
- Promoting positive visibility within the engineering and technology communities, including college students and the public-at-large
DiscoverE and its working coalition of 100+ organizations is known as one of the most effective collaborations today, recognized by corporations and engineering societies, and mentioned in two reports by the National Academy of Engineering.
