Selection of Challenges posted and discussed at O2O WIND

Please note that only professionals working directly for a wind turbine owner can post a challenge at O2O WIND. None of these challenges are written by any suppliers, manufacturers or consultants. No one with a commercial interest in selleing anything to the wind turbine owners at O2O WIND can not post anything or participate in these discussions. In some cases our moderators have suggested some challenges that they have found very relevant but also here the answer has been no.
