Since 2014, EERA JP Wind has been organising yearly events in Amsterdam. The collaboration between EERA JP Wind and SETWind project started in 2019 with a 2-day physical event where 112 researchers and industry collaborators came from all Europe. In 2020 the annual event was a fully digital conference organized by EERA JP Wind & SETWind, in collaboration with ETIPWind. It was five days of knowledge sharing, inspiring discussions, networking and collaboration opportunities within 482 members of the Wind community.

We are glad to announce here that the EERA JP Wind & SETWind Annual Event 2021 will be from the 20^th to the 24^th of September 2021. The restrictions for traveling and managing physical events are still uncertain, but the intention is to organize a hybrid event where participants can either join the event physically in Amsterdam or join the event virtually.

The EERA JP Wind & SETWind Annual Event aims for knowledge exchange, network opportunities and inspiration for new research topics. It is intended to focus on R&I priorities and technology development visions.

EERA JP Wind calls for abstracts with “Research priorities” and “Technology development vision”. Oral presentations by the contributors will be selected. Optionally, papers may be written that are published in conference proceedings that become available online.

The important topics in the Annual event are:

Digitalisation and asset management for wind energy
Floating wind; Recent developments, knowledge gaps and urgent research priorities
Wind energy system integration, how are we going to use the energy of the large-scale offshore wind power in our energy system.
Towards multi-scale wind flow modelling and measurements
Social considerations while implementing onshore wind
Sustainability and circular economy; material availability and usage

ORE Catapult Presence

Tuesday 21 September – Morning Session

We have a 45-minute case study on the TotalControl project as part of a session on Digitalisation and Asset Management.

Tuesday 21 September – Afternoon Session

In a session on Floating Wind, Paul Livingstone will be providing an overview of the FOW CoE programme. In the same session, Will Brindley will be talking about recent ORE Catapult activity around dynamic cable modelling and validation.

Wednesday 22 September – Morning Session

Wednesday morning’s session will focus on System Integration. John Nwobu will be presenting some of our recent work on the CLUE project and the principles of future energy systems in a local energy community context.
