Session description
The success of the wind industry relies on both the practical and strategic management of environmental impact and social acceptance. This session brings the latest practical examples and insights to how these challenges can be managed. Presenters will bring their best practices, on topics like local acceptance and logistics management at decommissioning, to the more strategic outlook on use of scarce or harmful materials.
Learning objectives
- Apply learnings from successful local community cooperation
- Optimize logistics from wind turbine decommissioning’s and material handling
- Integrate scares material considerations in product development
- Avoid usage of SF6 in switchgear in certain wind turbine applications
