WINDSCANNER WindScanner.eu - The European WindScanner Facility

Coordinator: DANMARKS TEKNISKE UNIVERSITET (DK)

The future high rate of deployment of renewable energy will require a substantial increase in the installed wind power capacity towards 2020 and beyond, in fact this demand corresponds approximately to the installation of one large turbine every hour for the next decade. This is a substantial “grand challenge” as outlined in the Strategic Energy Technology Plan (SET-Plan) from 2009, which is the technology pillar of the EU’s energy and climate policy. The new WINDSCANNER research infrastructure facility has been conceived in the logic of the SET Plan and the vision of the European Innovation …

About Seventh Framework Programme (2007–2013)

The Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) ran from 2007 to 2013 and was the EU's main research-funding instrument of that period. It mobilised roughly €50 billion across cooperation projects, ERC frontier grants, Marie Curie fellowships, capacity-building actions and Euratom research. FP7 closed to new calls in 2013 but its projects continued for years after under their original grant agreements.

EU contribution: €4.3M awarded to the consortium. The project runs over approximately 3 years from 2012-10-01 to 2015-09-30.
