NATIONAL RENEWABLE ENERGY CENTRE

What is EERA?

The European Energy Research Alliance was established in 2008 to support the

SET-plan.

Mission: aims to accelerate the development and deployment of cost-effective low

carbon technologies

Cooperation of Energy Research Organisations

 In principle open to all research organisations

 Activities based on participants own resources, but

•

Complemented by competitive funding from the

European Commission (FP7)

• Long-term strategy, Agreed Division of Tasks and Responsibilities

•

EERA virtual teams working on one topic (specialization)

 More than 200 participating organisations

 Collaborating in 15 EERA Joint Programmes

Ambition/vision of the Joint Programme

The EERA vision for the joint programme on wind

energy is

– to establish the scientific–technical medium to long term research strategy to support the Technology Roadmap’s activities on wind energy and

– on basis of this, to perform the necessary scientific research.

The vision calls for all the EERA institutions and

associated partners

– to align their research in wind energy topics which influence the use and deployment of wind energy and

– perform the research coordinated and structured in medium to long-term research programmes with shared research facilities.

The overall objective is

– to produce scientific results on the highest and recognized international level to be used by industry, communities, member states and the international scientific community.

Vision

JP on Wind Energy

The EERA joint programme on wind energy

accelerates the realization of the SET-plan goals,

provides the strategic leadership for the scientific–

technical medium to long term research to support

the EII and the Technology Roadmap’s activities on

wind energy and provides added value through:

• Strategic leadership of the underpinning research

• Joint prioritisation of research tasks and infrastructure • Alignment of European and national research efforts

• Execution of coordinated and structured research in medium to long-term programmes

• Coordination with industry, and

SET-Plan structure

Steering Group (EC + Member States)

Steer the implementation of the SET-Plan

European

Key challenge 'secure, clean and efficient energy‘

• Objective: to make the transition to a reliable, sustainable and competitive energy system, in the face of

increasingly scarce resources, increasing energy needs and climate change.

• Broad lines of activities: (1) Reducing energy consumption and carbon footprint by smart and sustainable use;

(2) Low-cost, low-carbon electricity supply; (3) Alternative fuels and mobile energy sources; (4) A single, smart European electricity grid; (5) New knowledge and technologies; (6) Robust decision making and public engagement; (7) Market uptake of energy innovation.

Implementation principles embedded in Horizon 2020 proposal

– Support the implementation of the SET-Plan:

• SET-Plan roadmaps, implementation plans and governance

structure

– Partnering with European stakeholders important to share resources and implement jointly:

• Existing EIIs may be turned into formalised PPP (case by

case basis)

• Support may be given, including with MSs, to alliances of

Horizon 2020: an

opportunity (2)

JP on Wind Energy

Programa EERA Wind

El programa comprende los siguientes sub-programas:

• Condiciones de Viento. Coordinado por Risø DTU, Dinamarca. • Aerodinámica. Coordinado por ECN, Holanda.

• Eólica Marina. Coordinado por SINTEF, Noruega.

• Integración en Red. Coordinado por FhG IWES, Alemania. • Centros de Ensayo. Coordinado por CENER, España.

El objetivo general de

IRPWIND

es implementar un

programa integrado de investigación para fomentar la

colaboración entre los centros clave de la investigación

en Europa.

El programa integrado de investigación

IRPWIND

se ha

desarrollado en base a la Agenda Estratégica de

Investigación (SRA) de TPWind, el “Technology

Roadmap on Wind Energy”, basándose así mismo en las

estrategias y programas nacionales para la investigación

en energía eólica.

IRPWIND es un programa de investigación integrada que combina

proyectos de investigación estratégicos y actividades de apoyo dentro del

sector eólico, con el objetivo de aprovechar el potencial de investigación

europeo. IRPWIND se centra claramente en la investigación a largo plazo.

IRPWIND va más allá de proyectos de investigación e integra

capacidades y recursos en torno al desarrollo de las tecnologías de alto

riesgo, lo que permitirá que Europa mantenga su posición competitiva

global líder en términos de excelencia en la investigación y aplicación de

tecnologías de energía eólica.

Se han identificado lagunas técnicas y de colaboración, que actualmente

obstaculizan la próxima generación de tecnologías de energía eólica. Son

estos vacíos los que IRPWIND propone llenar, con un equipo que reúne a

24 socios con una masa crítica de investigación dentro del sector de la

energía eólica en Europa.
