New and Ongoing Wind Power Research in Sweden 2011-2012

10Svenskt VindkraftsTekniskt CentrumTechnical Research CentersThe center was formed to meet the needs of the rapidly expanding global wind power industry andto raise wind power expertise in Sweden. The wind power research center will focus on developingknowledge of the construction of wind turbines and of optimizing maintenance and productioncosts. Its goal is to be able to build both partial and complete wind power systems in Sweden. Theobjective of the center is also to supply the Swedish industry with in-depth expertise within thewind power field. By integrating education, research and innovation, it hopes to contribute newknowledge and a transposition of today´s industries.Read more here: http://www.chalmers.se/ee/swptc-en/Uppsala University/Gotland University/KTHExtensive research is being conducted at these institutions and they have sought to bring togethertheir various fields of wind power research to collaborate on new projects and to seek funding.Uppsala University:http://www2.teknat.uu.se/forskning/uu/beskrivning.php?vetenskapsid=0&hforskomr=5&id=10&lang=enGotland University:http://www.hgo.se/energiteknik/150-hgo.htmlKTH:http://www.kth.se/en/forskning/forskningsplattformar/2.19406/energy/2.7371/wind-power-1.24178
