1The Poul La Cour Award 2023 went to Peter Hauge Madsen for his outstanding achievements in advancing the European wind energy research community.

2It was back in the 1970s that Danish engineers and scientists began to harness the power of wind. Peter Hauge Madsen's vision was to build a research society in Europe, bringing the brightest European scientists and researchers together. During his career, Peter Hauge Madsen helped to shape and enlarge the Wind and Energy Systems department at the Danish Technical University (DTU). Today, it is the largest research department for wind energy worldwide with more than 400 employees.

3Research conducted by Peter Hauge Madsen and his team of scientists at the Risø Test Center was crucial in the development of the wind industry as we know it today.His dedication helped create a strong foundation for the commercialisation of modern wind turbines (涡轮机). His knowledge of meteorological measurements helped use wind energy resources in a smarter and more efficient way. As part of his work, he helped develop the Danish Wind Atlas (地图集). Today, energy planners around the world use this atlas to get an overview of the most favourable conditions for wind turbines.

4During the award ceremony, Peter Hauge Madsen said,“I have been driven by the idea that wind energy can solve some of the world's most pressing issues.I am very proud to have built a strong team of researchers. Together we have been driving new perspectives within the industry. Today we have come so far that wind has become the main source of electricity in many parts of the world. That's more than we could have ever imagined 40 years ago.”

5The Poul la Cour Award is presented to people for their outstanding achievements in the wind industry and is named after Poul La Cour—a Danish physicist, meteorologist,inventor and folk high school teacher. The prize is awarded every other year. An appointed Selection Committee of four persons, representing the science and industry of wind power in Europe,chooses the winner.
