Systems Engineering Workshop 2024

The 2024 Systems Engineering Workshop brought together experts and researchers to discuss advancements in wind energy systems engineering. 

The Technical University of Denmark (DTU) hosted the seventh Systems Engineering Workshop Dec. 3–4, 2024, followed on Dec. 5 by optional tours and code tutorials. The workshop was held at the Risø Campus located near the town of Roskilde. Researchers at NREL co-hosted and attended the in-person event, which saw a total of 75 participants traveling from all over the world. 

Key sessions included: 

  • Political, social, and environmental considerations 
  • Upscaling perspectives across the full system, supply chain 
  • Innovation in turbine design, new concepts 
  • Floating wind 
  • Wind-based hybrid power plants 
  • Machine-learning and Artificial Intelligence (AI), digital twins, digitalization.
