The world celebrates Global Wind Day 2016
Global Wind Day is a worldwide event that occurs annually on 15 June. Organised by WindEurope (previously European Wind Energy Association, EWEA) and Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC), Global Wind Day is a day that marks the importance of wind energy and a day to discover the potentials and possibilities of wind power.
DHI has been the pioneer in offshore wind technology since 1991 when the world’s first offshore wind farm was constructed in Denmark. Since then, DHI has been involved in hundreds of developments worldwide.
In one of our recent contributions to the wind energy field, DHI Denmark’s test facilities were used for the inaugural testing of a scale model offshore floating wind turbine commissioned by the European Union INNWIND project that aims at developing future standards for floating wind energy production.
