Wind Energy Systems Programme

An important aspiration of this programme is to lower the cost of energy derived from the wind by optimizing the wind turbine together with the grid interface and the operation of power systems. Our work includes such topics as system integration, control concepts for wind turbines, electrical components, grid connection and large-scale wind energy penetration, hybrid power supply systems and energy storage in relation to renewable energy sources.

Risø Wind Consult is another activity of this programme, aimed at utilizing the knowledge and state-of-the-art tools available at Risø in providing consultancy and technical advice for international projects concerning the development and application of wind power technology.
