The SRA points out that fulfilling this vision will be a major industrial and technological challenge for Europe, and that public and industry research resources across Europe must be mobilised via the coordination of investment at European and national level. It gives research priorities and actions for the sector to ensure that it develops successfully.
Part of the document is devoted to a Market Deployment Strategy, which examines the ways to remove market barriers to large-scale wind energy deployment, such as creating a level playing field for grid access, reducing investment costs and streamlining administrative procedures.
The SRA is the most in-depth analysis to date of the research requirements of the wind energy sector, and is based on two years of work and discussions. It is supported by extensive annexes, which are available online.
