The Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC) said around 45 GW of wind energy flowed into grids in 2012, a 20% increase over 2011.
If wind energy is to make further progress throughout the world, countries must exchange their knowledge of the latest findings and technology. It is against this background that the VDI Wissensforum GmbH is holding the Conference of the Wind Power Engineering Community (COWEC) from June 18-19 in Berlin. With Prof. Dr. Andreas Reuter of the Fraunhofer Institute of Wind Energy and Energy System Technology (IWES) and Dr. Andrew Garrad of GL Garrad Hassan as technical co-directors of the conference, more than 80 speakers from 20 different countries will cover the entire wind energy installations concept. “We are very proud to have been able to secure Prof. Reuter and Dr. Garrad as conference directors”, says Timo Taubitz, CEO of VDI Wissensforum GmbH
