...The 2030 climate and energy policy is Europe’s chance to create a sustainable, secure and economically vigorous future," says Engel. "EU leaders should seize the opportunity to adopt 2030 policies that will change the balance of incentives to favor green energyenergy investments. 30% renewable energy and 40% greenhouse gas reduction targets will set the stage for business and industry to make the investments, take the risks and create the green growth, competitiveness and energy security that Europe needs. But it is a two-way street. An ambitious policy on climate and energy targets will drive investment. It’s time to act."

"One of the main challenges was to obtain an equivalent procedure to the IEC 61400-12-1 power performance measurement standard," says Velociter. "To achieve the required level of accuracy and repeatability, the developed procedure accounts for each one of the measurement requirements. For example, it specifies how to measure at hub-height +/- 2.5% at 2.5 rotor diameter in front of the turbine and account for the deviation inherent to the flexibility of the turbine."
