The Turbine - Grand Challenges in Wind Energy Science - Carlo L Bottasso -

🍃 "We're not done yet". That is the key message Professor Carlo Luigi Bottasso would deliver on an elevator ride with a powerful politician. Video interview on the Grand Challenges paper on 'Design, Manufacture, and Operation of Future Wind Turbine Systems'.

"There are so many things we can do, and we must do," he explains. "It's not a matter of just deploying the turbines with the technology we have today. We're changing the world, and in a few years, the energy system will be changed completely".

The corresponding author is Paul Veers. Co-authors are Carlo Luigi Bottasso, Lance Manuel, Jonathan Naughton, Lucy Pao, Joshua Paquette, Amy Robertson, Michael Robinson, Shreyas Ananthan, Thanasis Barlas, Alessandro Bianchini, Henrik Bredmose, Sergio González Horcas, Jonathan Keller, Helge Aagaard Madsen, James Manwell, Pat Moriarty, Stephen Nolet, and Jenni Rinker.

The paper is one of ten in the series on grand challenges of wind energy science, written in the context of the IEA Wind collaboration. The international wind energy research community has determined that for wind power to fulfil its expected role as a major global supplier of carbon-free energy, critical challenges around the design, development, and deployment of wind energy must be addressed—quickly.
