Organisation profile
The vision is to accelerate and lower the cost of the green energy transition by developing the scientific and technical basis for future and more cost-effective wind turbine technology for both onshore and offshore turbines.
Focus is on the turbine technologies, ranging from the aerodynamic design, turbine control, response prediction to the utilization of combined modelling and test data to optimize the trade-off between turbine cost and performance.
