AptWind at WESC 2025

Our doctoral network participated with presentations at the Wind Energy Science Conference (WESC) 2025 in Nantes, France from the 24-27 of June. It was an exciting opportunity to be part of this event that gathered +1200 attendees from academia and industry.

Here are a detail list of the presentations:

• "Comparison between a nacelle lidar and a met mast in spatially varying flow" by Thea Vanelli.

• "Estimation of Turbulence Statistics from Pulsed Lidar" by Mohammadreza Manami.

• "Identifying systematic biases in ERA5 and downscaled mesoscale products in modelling for wind energy applications" by Maksims Pogumirskis.

• "Assessing boundary layer heights with ERA5, WRF, and scanning lidar measurements" by Cristina Benzo.

• "Assessing canopy models in forested complex terrain: insights from the Perdigão case study" presented by Vasco Batista, project which he contributed on, with lead author J. Monteiro.

• "Measurements of inflow turbulence for large wind turbines" by Ansh Patel.

• "Quantification of Tropical Cyclone Characteristics in Taiwan, Japan and East Coast US" by Keeta Chapman-Smith.

We look forward to continuing to share our research in valuable platforms like WESC, that allowed our doctoral candidates to get meaningful feedback and network opportunities.
