On the 2nd and 3rd of October, 10 lucky WESA members had the opportunity to participate in the Wind Energy Denmark conference in Herning. The Danish Wind Industry Association provided WESA with 10 tickets in order to strengthen its connection with the Wind Industry. In addition, we are more than happy to have several WESA members presenting their scientific work at the conference.
The participants were more than happy to share their experience:
''I think WED2017 was a great event that allowed us to get a deeper insight of the current challenges and opportunities faced by the wind energy industry in Denmark. Panel discussions and networking sessions were invaluable opportunities to meet experts in a wide range of fields, from research to business development.
Thanks to WESA and the Danish Wind Industry Association for giving us the chance to be part of this conference.''
"It is always nice to attend events within your field. One can follow social media and read the news regarding wind energy, but you definitely get a better insight when you attend events like WED.
Many thanks to WESA and DWIA for giving us the opportunity to be there."
"I'm very grateful to WESA and WED for the opportunity that they gave me to participate in the convention WED 2017, which was an amazing experience. I had the opportunity to assist to the different conference and I was able to learn about new research and the challenges that the wind industry is facing. All this gave me, even more, inspiration and motivation to continue on this journey and one day become an asset to this industry.
Thank you so much for allowing me to be part of this amazing event.”
''I am very happy to have presented my MSc. thesis research on "Analysis of Wake detection using LIDARs" at the Wind Energy Denmark conference 2017. It was an exciting experience to present my research, connect with the wind energy industry and learn more about the developments and potential challenges.
I would like to especially thank DTU Wind Energy and DWIA for this great opportunity, and WESA for the support.''
''The Wind Energy Denmark conference experience was exceptional! The opportunity to meet, listen to, and learn from the leading experts in the wind industry was overwhelming. The sense of humility that comes with the knowledge the people at the conference exhibited was something I have never witnessed before, which only boosts my interest to work in such an industry even more.
I am grateful to the Wind Energy Student Association (WESA) at DTU and the Danish Wind Industry Association (DWIA) for giving me the opportunity to attend the conference.''
"I would like to thank WESA and DWIA for the opportunity to participate in the event “Wind Energy Denmark 2017”. I am very impressed by what I could find out and see there. The conference has prompted me to think more about the future of Wind Energy and interested me into new topics. I am sure that participating in events like this is a great opportunity for students to gain a broader view on the industry.''
“I was glad to see WESA members participating at WED 2017, both in the role of visitors and presenters. It was a great opportunity for us to experience the Danish wind industry 1:1 and learn about current challenges and developments, further to present own research. I especially enjoyed the friendly atmosphere at the event, the “talents of tomorrow”-stage and the various presentations about next generation technologies.
Thanks a lot to DWIA (Danish Wind Industry Association) for the invitation and cooperation with WESA!“
We are more proud for our students who presented their research and very happy to give our members the opportunity to participate in the biggest wind conference in Denmark.
