Wind Energy

The energy transition and tackling climate change depend on the development of new renewable resources. IFPEN proposes processes for the production of fuels, bases for the chemicals sector and gas from biomass. IFPEN also uses its expertise acquired in the field of oil and gas to offer solutions for the

wind energY Our strengths • More than 12 years’ experience in the field, with a team of around thirty FTE staff dedicated to wind energy, alongside 5 to 10 doctoral students and post-doctoral researchers. • Active in several segments of the value chain, with packages aimed at wind energy development

IFPEN is contributing to the growth of the wind energy sector, from resource evaluation through to the development of efficient control systems. IFPEN is also contributing to the development of efficient wave energy technology that can be used by industry.

wind energY Our networks IFPEN’s wind energy research is conducted within the context of an excellence network including industrial and academic partners: the Ancre alliance, the International Energy Agency’s Technological Cooperation Program, IEA Wind, in which IFPEN represents France on the Executive Committee and coordinates a task dedicated to the

wind energY OVERVIEW AND CHALLENGES The global development of wind energy is being driven by several factors: evolving technologies, a cost per kWh that is set to fall further, managed environmental impacts, the wider consultation of other users upstream of projects. There is significant potential in Europe to develop wind
