A dedicated voice for Technology and Policy R&D, speaking for the wind energy sector and its stakeholders.

Ongoing FP7 call

Call identifier:                    FP7-ENERGY-2008-TREN-1
Date of publication:           29 April 2008
Deadline:                            8 October 2008 at 17.00.00, Brussels local time
Topic ENERGY.2008.2.3.1: Demonstration of large-scale systems for on- and off-
shore wind farms including their cost-effective grid integration

The priorities of this call are in line with TPWind's priorities, as listed by its Strategic Research Agenda. The scope of the call is broad. Applications do not have to to fulfill all listed activities, but can focus on a specific point. Large-scale grid integration and the pooling of wind farms in particular are of strong interest.
