Wind Turbines Programme

The purpose of this programme is to develop new and to improve current methods for wind turbine loading and safety design, and in addition to develop new design methods and to identify new technical and economic applications. Two key elements are experimental verification, and technical and economic analysis of the utilization of wind energy in grids and in hybrid energy systems. This research supports our consultancy activities in wind energy projects for Danish and international authorities, industry, banks and investors. It also supports our participation in the development of international standards.

We carry out pre-research for the development of new standards, and we are involved in the formulation of both national and international standardization. The programme also includes the secretariat for the Danish Certification scheme for Wind Turbines.
