Simon Watson Email & Phone Number

Delft Area, Netherlands

I worked within the Centre for Renewable Energy Systems Technology heading up the Wind and Water Power Research Team. My areas of research interest included: wind resource assessment in challenging environments, e.g. complex terrain, offshore and urban environments; condition monitoring of wind turbines; and climate change impacts on both wind power and the electricity supply industry in general.I was a member of several prominent bodies and committees in the wind and renewable energy arena including the Research Advisory Group of the Offshore Catapult, the PEL/88/-/7 sub-committee: Design requirements for wind turbines (advising on IEC standards for wind turbines) and was a board member of the European Renewable Energy Research Centres Agency (Eurec). I jointly managed the research activity of the EPSRC Supergen Wind Hub consortium and led CREST's wind energy research activity in the European Academy for Wind Energy.
