From Geopolitics to renewable and sustainable power

Free of charge
Ritz, Kirkkopuistikko 22 | 11:00 – 12:30
Wind & Renewable Energy
This seminar brings together three timely and complementary perspectives on Europe’s evolving energy landscape and Finland’s renewable energy trajectory.
The program highlights:
Russia’s use of energy as geopolitical leverage — and how Europe can neutralize it, analysed by Professor Veli-Pekka Tynkkynen.
The next wave of Finnish wind power and the accelerating drivers for solar, presented by Renewables Finland’s CEO Anni Mikkonen and Director of Operations Heidi Paalatie.
Cutting-edge structural health monitoring for wind turbines, with insights from Granlund’s Development Manager Dr. Esko Sistonen and the results of the GenerIoT project.
Together, these sessions offer a strategic, technological, and practical look at how Europe can strengthen its energy independence, how Finland’s renewable energy growth is evolving, and how the structural reliability of wind power can be ensured well into the future.
From Geopolitics to renewable and sustainable power
Russia's energy leverage in Europe and how to prevent it
The presentation describes how Russia has used energy as a lever to disrupt European unity as part of its geopolitical and geoeconomic strategies. With the lessons of recent history, it is possible to build a European strategy that both limits Russia’s ability to finance its war economy and denies Russia’s future attempts to influence Europe.
Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) for Wind Power Station
This presentation is summary of the GenerIoT -project (Generating and Deploying Lightweight, Secure and Zero-overhead Software for Multipurpose IoT Devices) which studied use case Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) for wind power stations, among others. In this study results of the research work are presented. Main points are: Structural Aging of Wind Turbines, Aging Management of Wind Turbine Structures, Systems and Components (SSC), Framework for early prediction of damage in Wind Turbines by utilising AI based SCADA data processing with neural networks.
The Third Wave of Finnish Wind Power and the Drivers for Solar Growth
The presentation explores the future outlook for wind power and what could accelerate solar power development in Finland. Wind power construction has currently slowed down after busy years — or is this actually the beginning of the third wave of wind power expansion? Is Finnish solar power moving closer to or further away from market-based competitiveness?
