CALL FOR PAPERS OPEN NOW
Celebrating its third edition, the symposium continues its commitment to advancing wind energy by focusing on the dynamic behavior, monitoring and reduction of vibrations in wind turbines - key factors in enhancing their efficiency and reliability. With top-class presentations from both industry and academia, the event reinforces its standing as a vibrant forum for innovation and knowledge exchange.
Building on the success of previous editions, the 2026 program is designed with a thematic focus on advancing innovative techniques and topics that merge simulation and analysis of wind turbine dynamics with practical measures for reducing vibrations and loads as well for improving turbine performances. The program also seamlessly integrates discussions on the measurement, prediction, and reduction of noise as well as on condition and structural health monitoring (SHM) solutions for the wind energy. Furthermore, topics such as lifetime assessment and extension as well as the application of artificial intelligence and machine learning in predictive and optimized maintenance strategies are woven together presenting a coherent perspective on the evolving challenges and opportunities in wind turbine technology.
