In partnership with: Introduction

Nordic Folkecenter for Renewable Energy, the Danish Test and Resource Centre for Small Wind Turbines, the Danish Association for Small and Medium Wind Turbines, in partnership with the World Wind Energy Association, are pleased to invite to the 4th International Conference on Small- and Medium Wind Energy, which will be held at the Nordic Folkecenter from the 23rd to the 26th of November 2020.

This four-day event will gather international experts from all over the world to discuss about decentralized solutions and back-up systems. Among the topics of the conference there will be battery-connected wind turbines, regulations, medium wind technology (200-2000 m2 swept area), the potential of small, medium and off-grid systems and their need for testing and certification.

The event will also focus on the possibilities opened by the European Green Deal.

Please, note that all hours are CET
