WindSider News

  • WindSider will be at WindEurope Electric City!
    The WindSider consortium will be in Copenhagen from 23 to 25 November 2021. You can meet us at booth DH20 (3E's stand). In addition, one of our members will give a presentation entitled "Simulating long-term wind time series by coupling mesoscale simulations with full-scale spectra" in Auditorium A15 on 23 November at 13:00. Join us, we'd be happy to give you an update on the WindSider project!
    Join our beta testers community!
    We're working hard to deliver you a groundbreaking and innovative wind development tool. Before launching the WindSider platform on the market, a beta version will be tested in close collaboration with key industry partners. Any company willing to join this initiative is invited to fill in the online form.
