Renewable energy solutions provider Suzlon Group today announced the opening of its new Blade Science Centre in Vejle town of Denmark.
The new centre will focus on developing the best blades and control systems in the industry, and integrating Suzlon's aerodynamic, loads and new structures research across the company, Suzlon Group said in a statement.
The company has roped in Thomas Buhl, an expert from Technical University of Denmark (DTU), as Vice President to lead the centre.
Buhl has more than 15 years of experience in aerodynamics and blade structures and has demonstrated strong leadership throughout his career, it added.
In his last assignment, he was heading the section for Wind Turbine Structures at DTU Wind Energy and managed a large group of scientists and engineers with a focus on mechanical design and loads, composite structures and structural optimisation, the statement said.
Suzlon Group Chairman Tulsi Tanti said, "We believe a new wave of innovation is required to unlock the true potential of renewable energy, to lower Levelised Cost of Energy (LCoE), and take the game to a new level. Technology will be the key enabler to achieve this."
"Denmark is the birthplace of wind technology and we will leverage the experience and expertise of the talent pool there in our innovation efforts as we develop our next generation of turbines," he added.
