(Renewable) Energy Conferences

Conferences
Conferences are the best way to keep up to date regarding developments in the fast moving field of wind energy technology. Most wind energy associations as well as research organisations regularly organise conferences or workshops. The following conferences attract most international attention and usually publish conference proceedings

Yearly:
• Windpower Conference, organised by the American Wind Energy Association, yearly, www.awea.org
• Wind-Diesel Workshop, jointly organised by the Canadian Wind Energy Association and the American Wind Energy Association, www.awea.org
• British Wind Energy Association Conference, yearly, http://www.bwea.org/
• International Workshop on Feasibility of HVDC Transmission Systems for Offshore Wind Farms, http://www.ekc.kth.se/ees/workshop/

Bi-annual:
• European Wind Energy Conference, sponsored by the European Wind Energy Association, usually the largest wind energy event world-wide with very good proceedings; www.ewea.org
• German Wind Energy Conference, organised by the German Wind Energy Institute; www.dewi.de
• World Wind Energy Conference; In 2002, two world wind events will take place, the 2002 Global Wind Power Conference and Exhibition, 2-5 April 2002, Paris, France, organised by the European Wind Energy Association and the World Wind Energy Conference and Exhibition, 2-6 July 2002 Berlin, Germany, organised by German Wind Energy Association (BWE). It is, however, planned to combine those events in the future.
• BOREAS Conference, organised by the Finnish Meteorological Institute;
• World Renewable Energy Conference, organised by the World Renewable Energy Network;

Three-yearly:
