Background
• Wind Energy back in EC 6’th Frame Work Programme
• Great achievement for EWEA and the Wind Energy Community
• Also projects in Wind Energy in a call in December 2005.
• Wind Turbines increases in size which requires new design tools, components and materials
• Competition gets harder in sector and with other sectors which puts pressure on the economic efficiency
• Therefore UpWind is made so the industry in a more efficient way can utilize the European Research capacity in the next generations of wind turbines

EU – Objective and Challenge
UpWind
Project objective
• UpWind will develop and verify substantially improved models of the principle wind turbine components, which the industry needs for the design and manufacture of wind turbines for future very large-scale applications, more cost efficient e.g. offshore wind farms of several hundred MW.
• The wind turbines needed will be very large (>8-10 MW and rotor diameter > 120 m).

Participants in the project
• Coordinator: Peter Hjuler Jensen, Risoe
• 40 Participants in the project
• UpWind a European Consortium with most of the important European Actors in the Wind Energy Sector.
• Not all important actors in EU are included and that have to be handled in the project
• Actors outside EU and the consortium have to be considered by the consortium if they apply for a relation
