International comparison
• Combined EU FP and MS funding is world leading
• Lack of data for China. Available data suggests Chinese R&D funding levels comparable to EU in 2016
EU: MS + EU FPs
No data available for China

Patents
• EU patents peak in 2011, sharp decrease from 2012
• Decreasing EU share of global patents mainly due to increased patenting in China, South Korea, Japan and the USA
• No strong correlation between R&D funding and patent applications

Academic leadership
• The EU R&D budgets for wind energy (EC+MS combined) are at a world leading level
• The EU is global number 1 in wind energy publications and has retained this position for many years
![Page 15: Study on impacts of EU actions supporting the development of renewable energy … · History of wind technology Framework programme Wind energy Wind energy and other RES EU funding](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070107/6023c45071cfe6028c55cb9f/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Large turbines + offshore
• EU R&D funding contributed significantly to the development of larger wind turbines and offshore wind technology allowing for major cost reductions
• Examples include:• UPWIND (FP6), which determined that developing large turbines of
up to 10 MW was feasible, but not yet cost-effective
• INNWIND (FP7), which contributed to the performance and cost competitiveness of offshore wind technology components (e.g. blades, generators, offshore substructures)
• SUPRAPOWER (FP7) developed and patented a novel 10 MW lightweight and reliable generator
• LEANWIND (FP7) addressed the logistical challenges of deploying, installing and operating large scale wind turbines

Floating offshore
• Under FP7, floating turbines, started to receive funding through several projects designed to remove design and implementation hurdles
• Examples include:• ICFLOAT (FP7), which developed numerical models for analysing the
stability, efficiency and feasibility of floating wind turbines
• FLOATGEN (FP7) and DEMOFLOAT (FP7), which demonstrated the technical feasibility and economic viability of floating wind turbines

Industrial leadership
• EU accounts for 30% of all wind energy industry jobs worldwide
• EU wind energy industry is one of the largest across all RE sectors, comparable to bioenergy and about four times as large as biofuels and solar PV
• The EU wind energy has a large trade surplus

Conclusions
• The EU R&D budgets for wind energy are at a world leading level and have been successful in establishing academic leadership
• EU framework programme funding contributed significantly to the development of:• Larger wind turbines resulting in major cost decreases
• Fixed-bottom offshore wind technology
• Floating offshore wind technology
• The joint efforts of the EU and Member States have been successful in establishing and maintaining a world-leading industry
