By utilising superconducting materials the weight and size of a generator can be halved. This can prove important when wind turbines are enlarged. Today new wind turbines in the sea are constructed with a capacity of 2-3 MW. The DTU project SuperWind wants to develop a generator for wind turbines of 10-20 MW. Microbial fuel cells utilise wastewater and surplus products from the pre-treatment of straw to produce power. Denmark can become the new pioneer country within this field. The only way to reduce the price of solar cells is by using polymer materials in stead of silicon. Risø DTU is developing polymer solar cells. Straw can replace sugar canes and maize in the production of bioethanol. Together with a group of scientists from the University of Copenhagen and DONG Energy’s own research and development department, Risø DTU represent the research base of the project.

The research of Risø DTU is to benefit society, and the only way to achieve this aim is by joining forces with our surroundings. As mutual acquaintance is important, we always welcome applications concerning visits, events, study visits etc. Find what suits you below or contact us.

Research co-operation 
Co-operation with Risø DTU can help create new products or optimise production in both newly established and existing businesses. Your business can improve its potential for growth and competitiveness through collaboration with Risø DTU. Read more

Workshops for companies
We arrange one-day workshops creating new possibilities for companies to solve their problems about production, achieve product improvements and develop new products in order to improve the market situation. The scientists working in the workshops have interdisciplinary competences and ideas for solutions. The company participates with key figures from the management, product development, production and sales. Read more.

Continuing education
We tailor interdisciplinary continuing education according to the wishes and needs of your company. New knowledge about materials, surface treaments and design are some of the possibilities. Advanced lighting technology. Or maybe medical measuring equipment. Your company decides, we arrange and carry out. Read more.

We also offer a number of courses, seminars, conferences and lectures within the fields of our competences, see the calendar.

Company excursion
We can make up a programme, according to your wishes and needs, if your company are going on an excursion. We can take your employees on an exciting and entertaining journey of time into the technological future. Contact Chief Consultant Leif Sønderberg Petersen, phone 46 77 40 21, lepe@risoe.dtu.dk

Projects
We offer students interested in research and development the possibility of making projects at Risø DTU. You will be solving problems related to research in connection with a relevant project. Our research enables us to offer projects within the fields of innovation, material research, polymers, plant research, systems analysis and optics and plasma research. These subjects may give you ideas for a specially studied subject, a master thesis or a semester project, a work experience stay, a bachelor project or a summer job. Read more.

Pupils 
High Schools can book a roadshow about fusion and plasma. Read more
