Sixty Minutes with Danish Wind Innovator, Henrik Stiesdal

SSF and the Environmental and Energy Management Institute at George Washington University have the privilege of hosting on campus (and live-streamed) the Danish inventor Henrick Stiesdal, whom Fast Company calls the Godfather of wind energy.

In 1978, Henrik designed one of the first wind turbines representing the so-called “Danish Concept,” which dominated the global wind industry through the 1980s. Until 2014, he was the Chief Technology Officer of Siemens Wind Power. During his professional career, Hendrik has made more than 175 inventions and has received more than 650 patents related to wind power technology.

Henrik will talk about his experiences and the future of wind energy.
