2 DANISH QUALITY WIND MAGAZINE Finally, we meet - not virtually like in Hamburg 2020 but physically and almost in person S ince 2019 our world has been turned upside down by the unpleasant experiences of Covid 19 a virous which hits a truly international business such as the Wind industry extremely hard. The stories from people caught on a ship on the other side of the earth have been a part of the Wind World through out almost the whole of 2020. At the same time Wind & Solar energy has inadvertently, and almost by chance, stolen the world agenda due to fear of severe climate changes. At the recent Glasgow Cop 26 summit, the world came together with intentions and goals for reducing the man-made carbon footprint on our planet. It is not an easy task and coal wasnt cut completely from the energy supply sources. It is still there with an intention of eventually phasing it out completely.

Workable solutions are going to be key in the years to come. For instance, In Australia they are literally ahead of the curve. In Tasmania they have built and are currently running an energy system which is wind and solar based with diesel as backup on quiet rainy days so to speak. Europe is in many ways the poster child of the modern renewable energy story. In 2019 Wind energy covered a third of EUs energy needs in. 2021 has exposed one of the risks in Wind energy namely not enough wind blowing. This opens opportunities for alternative energy sources, as well as for ways of storing energy from wind on a more permanent basis. Currently plans are made to produce hydrogen from excess wind energy production. Other ways of storing excess energy are being tested huge sub terranean flexible water pools and rubble in steel tanks are currently live in small scale. Apart from the above-mentioned big picture issues- optimization and scaling of the current technologies and processes are core and key in the day-to-day operation of the modern windfarms. In this issue we have picked two hand fulls of specialist companies whom each excel in their daily businesses.
