On 1 March this year, DTU Wind Energy and DTU's Center for Electricity and Energy merged and became DTU Wind and Energy Systems - a department that embraces several aspects of society's challenges of converting to green energy.

Peter Hauge Madsen is now director of a new and larger department with a broader professionalism than what he has so far headed. And the new constellation pleases the department director.

“It has been a long-cherished wish both from DTU Wind Energy and from the center that we should strengthen the collaboration. So the merger is a realization of that desire, ”says Peter Hauge Madsen.

The current circumstances in Europe and the government's desire to turbo-charge the green transition with a significantly greater production of renewable energy also place demands on the institute, which is one of the world leaders in the field.
