dwpa - Danish Wind Power Academy

We were formed in 2004 with a single, and very clear purpose – to help owners/operators and maintainers of Renewable Energy assets improve their operational performance and realise their strategic ambitions by helping them develop a deep understanding of their assets, and of the ways in which they could optimise their operation and maintenance activities to achieve (or exceed!) their performance goals in a safe and sustainable manner. We set out as wind turbine experts with a deep respect and understanding of the importance of service and maintenance activities – determined to change the wind industry by developing ways to translate this knowledge and experience into programs which would enable our customers and partners to develop the technical competencies required to control their own destiny, and meet the evolving needs and challenges associated with their assets over their lifetime. Throughout this journey we have trialled and developed innovative and highly effective learning delivery solutions, and we have learned a huge amount with our customers and global partners about what does and does not work along the way, which has allowed us to evolve into the industry leading independent provider of technical competency development support that we are today! Much of the emphasis of the training provided by DWPA is centered on lowering the cost of producing energy. However DWPA provides the marketplace with much more than just a training programme. Working with clients affords greater insight into, and better analysis of, the operation of wind turbine infrastructure. By providing a specific training programme, DWPA ensures that clients are given structured and seamless training, tailored for individual needs and benefits. Today we can help improve turbine performance in more than 50 turbine types from 7 different manufacturers
