Research Divisions

Four research divisions are set up to improve the strategic management and executional capacity of the department to meet the needs of the sector and the new energy reality of the green transition. Each division is comprised of specific sections.

Materials and Components

Wind Turbine Design

Wind Energy Systems

Power and Energy Systems

Research Infrastructure

We operate some of the world’s most advanced research infrastructure and test facilities for wind and energy systems. Researchers and companies can test everything from nano-scale materials, large-scale structures, fully powered demonstrations of turbines to stability and balancing the grid infrastructure. Our dedicated researchers and engineers support all commercial test activities.

Teacher of the Semester Fabio Pierella

Associate professor Fabio Pierella received the award Teacher of the Semester for the Spring 2024 Semester. The award is given twice a year for excellent and outstanding contributions to teaching at the Department of Wind and Energy Systems.

Risø Hybrid Power Plant an important tool for achieving 100% sustainable energy supply

This week, DTU got a new test facility at Risø Campus—Risø Hybrid Power Plant. This is a key contribution to DTU’s research into more sustainable energy supply, and an important tool for developing and testing new technologies before they are scaled up.

Labour shortage in the wind industry threatens green transition

Wind energy is the backbone of Denmark’s green energy system. It plays a crucial role in enabling Denmark to become fossil fuel-free by 2050. But while wind energy capacity has increased significantly since 2012 with investments in onshore and offshore wind power plants, did we forget to invest in the people who can realize the green transition?

DTU Wind to lead the way as global knowledge partner

The green transition is gaining significant momentum, prompting DTU Wind and Energy Systems to launch a new strategy aimed at maximizing the department’s impact and contributing to the transformation of the global energy system. Head of Department Morten Jeppesen explains the objectives of this new strategy.
