STandUP for Wind

Welcome to STandUP for Wind The future expansion of wind power in Sweden faces many challenges. New knowledge and competences are needed for businesses and government agencies to be able to successfully integrate electricity from wind power into the electrical network in an optimal way, to find suitable areas for building wind power parks and to place the turbines to best utilize wind conditions. STandUP for Wind is a research centre profiled towards planning and establishing wind energy in the Swedish electrical network. The centre is a collaboration between Uppsala University (UU), Royal Institute of Technology (KTH), Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU) and Luleå University of Technology (LTU) as part of the government’s strategic STandUP for Energy research area. The centre has a turnover of approximately 40 million Swedish crowns for it’s research, education and communication activities and involves nearly 70 persons.
