A total of 14 papers are included, addressing one (or more) of the three conference themes: • Onshore wind • Offshore wind • Electrifying the energy system. Presenters in the Science & Research Track of the conference were invited to submit a paper for these proceedings. All submissions have gone through a careful peer-review organized by the European Academy of Wind Energy (EAWE1). Conference committee for the scientific programme • Stephan Barth, Managing Director, ForWind - Center for Wind Energy Research • Ola Carlson, Professor, Chalmers University • James Carroll, Senior Lecturer, Strathclyde University • Georges Kariniotakis, Professor, MINES ParisTech • Athanasios Kolios, Professor, Strathclyde University • Jakob Mann, Professor, DTU Wind Energy • Michael Muskulus, Professor, Norwegian University of Science and Technology NTNU • Simon Watson, Professor, Delft University of Technology We thank all 20+ reviewers for their engagement and effort, without which these proceedings would not have been possible. As with previous WindEurope events, the European Academy of Wind Energy has been responsible for organizing the review process for scientific contributions and has contributed to the development of the conference sessions. WindEurope has been responsible for the organization and logistics of the conference, and we thank their highly professional staff and their associates for the excellent collaboration.
