Danish Renewable Energy Company Visits Brown

A Danish renewable energy company, Ørsted, visited Brown in October to learn about our research capacities in engineering, data science and materials research related to wind energy.

Ørsted is ranked seventh on the HBR’s list of “Top 20 Business Transformations of the Last Decade”. With their acquisition of Deepwater Wind in 2018, the company now has an RI presence, and is looking to expand their operational excellence in off-shore wind energy. 

The Ørsted vision is a world that runs entirely on green energy. Ørsted develops, constructs and operates offshore and onshore wind farms, bioenergy plants and provides energy products to its customers. Headquartered in Denmark, Ørsted employs 6,300 people. Ørsted’s shares are listed on Nasdaq Copenhagen (Ørsted). In 2018, the group’s revenue was DKK 76.9 billion (EUR 10.3 billion).

Along with RI Commerce, Jill Pipher, Larry Larson, Björn Sandstede and Nitin Padture discussed Brown's research  at South Street Landing on October 17th.
