Lifetime Extension and Wind Resources – Research Updates at Vind 2024
On October 22, the Swedish Wind Centre, SWC, will lead a research seminar during Vind 2024. Researchers affiliated with SWC will present research on both lifetime extension and wind resources in Swedish conditions. See the programme items below.
The seminar will be held in English and take place from 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM at the Waterfront Congress Centre in Stockholm.
Participate for free by registering here by 14 October.
More information about Vind 2024 can be found here.
