About Task 43
The IEA Wind TCP is an international co-operation of 24 countries and sponsor members that share information and research activities to advance wind energy deployment. In IEA Wind Task 43, our vision is to unlock the full value of wind energy through digital transformation. Our mission is to act as a digital transformation catalyst by driving open collaboration within and beyond the wind community to deliver insights, recommendations, standards and tools in the key areas of data, culture, and coopetition. Our activities are based on the three “Grand Challenges in the Digitalisation of Wind Energy“, Data, Culture and Coopetition.

You can select which of the Working Groups you are interested in, and will receive Teams invitations to the relevant monthly meetings. Looking forward to seeing you soon!
Working Groups
As well as a Working Group for task management (WG0), we organise IEA Wind Task 43 around three Working Groups for the three Grand Challenges of Digitalisation in Wind Energy (WG1, WG2, WG3) as well as a fourth one for use-case demonstrations (WG4). In each WG, we focus on (1) gaining knowledge and understanding, then (2) creating recommendations, both for the sector as a whole and also for the rest of the IEA Wind Task 43 participants, and then (3) developing and testing usable tools in a safe environment based on the recommendations. We regularly review and adapt our activities according to inputs from the industry as well as our learning experience.
Working Group 0: Task Management
Working Group 1: Data
This working group aims to contribute to solving the first Grand Challenge “Creating FAIR data frameworks”, which is related to the topic of “data”. Read more.
Working Group 2: Culture
This working group aims to contribute to solving the second Grand Challenge “Connecting people and data to foster innovation”, which is related to the topic of “culture”. Read more.
Working Group 3: Coopetition
This working group aims to contribute to solving the third Grand Challenge “Enabling collaboration and competition between organisations”, which is related to the topic of “coopetition”. Read more.
Working Group 4: Use Case Demonstration
We run regular use case “deep dive” workshops in order to allow the priority use cases to be worked on by all task participants. The goal of these deep dives is to quantify the value of digitalisation in solving the key frustrations (or «pain points») related to each activity (or «use case»”, e.g. how much can the efficiency be improved or costs reduced?
