The event is targeted towards wind energy, oil & gas and grids players, as well as policy makers and any stakeholder involved in the planning, development and management of EU grids. The workshop will begin at 2 pm and will end at 6 pm. A networking cocktail, provided by TPWind, will follow.
Speakers include José Luis Mata (Head of Regulatory Affairs and Studies Department of Red Electrica, Spain) who will be looking at integrating renewables (the TWENTIES project), and Hannele Holttinen (VTT - TPWind Working Group 3 Chair, Finland) who will examine funding issues surrounding the grid integration strand of the European Wind Initiative.
TPWind is supported by the European Commission. Its work is coordinated by the European Wind Energy Association (EWEA), the renewable energy consultancy Garrad Hassan and the Danish National Laboratory for Renewable Energy (Risoe-DTU).
TPWind is playing a central role in shaping European wind energy technology research and development. Over the next three years, its work will focus on publishing and implementing strategic action plans for the EU wind energy sector, especially in the framework of the European Wind Initiative (EWI), which is part of the EU Strategic Energy Technology Plan.
