Vestas established a new strategic collaboration with Aalborg University from Denmark. The research program, entitled the "Vestas Power Programme", is a comprehensive collaboration between the wind turbine manufacturer and the university.
Over the next five years, the program will reinforce research and development in the field of components and systems within power electronics intended for use in the wind power industry. Over the coming five years, Vestas Power Programme will support three research programmes in the areas of wind power plants, power electronics and energy storage. In addition, a number of scholarships at the Aalborg University Institute of Energy Technology will be awarded through the programme to graduate students from Denmark and abroad. Finally, the Vestas Power Programme will provide financing for a 5-year professorial tenure - a position that constitutes the hub of the research programmes.
