ANNOUNCEMENT AND CALL FOR PAPERS
19th World Wind Energy Conference and Exhibition WWEC2021
“Powering the World with Wind and Sun”
New Delhi, India – 24-26 November 2021
The World Wind Energy Association (WWEA) and TERI are pleased to invite papers and presentations for the 19th World Wind Energy Conference and Exhibition (WWEC2021), taking place on 24-26 November 2021 in New Delhi (India). WWEC2021 is supported by the International Solar Alliance and the International Solar Energy Society.
The main theme of WWEC2021 is “Powering the World with Wind and Sun”.
Renewable energy system will connect the different fields of energy utilisation such as electricity, transportation, industrial processes and heating/cooling. Flexibility options in generation as well as in consumption, storage and other backup technologies will play a key role in a smart energy supply system of the future, and also the related socioeconomic transformation will be discussed in detail. Wind, solar and other renewable energy experts from all over the world will gather at WWEC2021 to discuss lessons learned and success stories in the renewable energy sector.
Hon. Peter Rae AO, WWEA President: “WWEC2021 will focus on how the whole world can be completely supplied with renewable energy sources, in particular wind and sun, and all the opportunities and challenges that arise from shifting the world towards such a renewable future. WWEA and TERI invite the wind and renewable energy community from around the world to join us to help make the benefits of renewable energy available for all human beings.”
Dr. Ajay Mathur, Director General of TERI: “Wind energy is part of the bedrock of the new carbon-free global energy economy of today and tomorrow. We are looking forward to WWEC2021 to accelerate this movement through the sharing of experiences and the building up of new partnerships.”
Dr. Jami Hossain, Technical Chair and Vice President, WWEA: “India is poised for an unprecedented and a major scale up in Renewable Energy in the coming decade. The 19th WWEC presents a unique opportunity to stakeholders across entire spectrum of Renewable Energies to work out a sustainable Energy System for the Post COVID World!”
Stefan Gsänger, WWEA Secretary General: “WWEC2021 will not only focus on cutting-edge wind and solar technologies, but a core topic will be the socioeconomic transformation that goes hand in hand with the switch to a climate friendly economy. Such transformation offers huge opportunities to overcome inequalities on a global scale, and to create new prospects for billions around the globe.”
The official conference language will be English.
