Round-table discussions

Join these 4 roundtable discussions where you can share questions, insights, advice and best practice in small groups. You’ll meet with peers with the same issues and questions and growing your network.

Round-table discussions will be moderated by Sarah Barber, Programme Leader Wind Energy, Eastern Switzerland, University of Applied Sciences.

Julia Kirch Kirkegaard,
Senior Researcher, DTU

Interdisciplinarity in wind energy – the case of wind turbine noise

When: Tuesday, 25 April, 13:00 – 14:00
Where: Meeting room 180 (limited capacity 20 people)
Topic leader: Julia Kirch Kirkegaard, Senior Researcher, DTU
Open: to all

Interdisciplinarity is increasingly popular amongst policy makers, funding agencies and in academia but it does not happen by itself. In this session, we use the case of wind turbine noise (Co-Green project) to set the scene for a discussion of whether and why we should work towards interdisciplinarity, but also the many barriers it involves.

How to make your AI models into O&M decisions

When: Tuesday, 25 April, 16:00 – 17:00
Where: Meeting room 180 (limited capacity 20 people)
Topic leader: Sofia Koukoura, Senior Asset Performance Analysis Engineer, ScottishPower Renewables
Open: to all

In this session, an open discussion will be facilitated. The aim is to collect AI project experiences across the wind energy sector, discuss challenges and propose solutions that can help incorporate AI into decision making.

Katherine Dykes,
Head of Section, Systems Engineering and Optimization, DTU

Beyond LCOE

When: Wednesday, 26 April, 09:30 – 10:30
Where: Meeting room 178 (limited capacity 18 people)
Topic leader: Katherine Dykes, Head of Section, Systems Engineering and Optimization, DTU
Open: to all

This round-table will focus on discussing the results from the latest IEA Wind Topical Experts Meeting on the Grand Challenges in Wind Energy

Sarah Barber,
Programme Leader Wind Energy, Eastern Switzerland, University of Applied Sciences

How can we overcome the challenges of digitalisation in wind energy?

When: Wednesday, 26 April, 11:00 – 12:00
Where: Meeting room 178 (limited capacity 18 people)
Topic leader: Sarah Barber, Programme Leader Wind Energy, Eastern Switzerland, University of Applied Sciences
Open: to all

As part of IEA Wind Task 43, we recently defined the three “Grand Challenges” of digitalisation in wind energy: (1) Data: creating FAIR data frameworks; (2) Culture: connecting people and data to foster innovation; (3) Coopetiton: enabling collaboration and competition between organisations. In this round table discussion we will first present the proposed IEA Wind Task 43 Task Extension, which aims to overcome these challenges. We will then collect your inputs and discuss your ideas.
