The emergence of eolics: Peter Clive at TEDxUniversityofStrathclyde

Dr. Peter Clive has been associated with the wind power industry since taking his PhD in physics in 2002, and had a central role in the development of the Galion Lidar, the 2nd generation wind Lidar system. This system enables wind fields to be surveyed with previously unobtainable detail and precision, revealing flow characteristics and structures that have a significant impact on the productivity and longevity of wind power assets. He discusses the process behind the emergence of a scientific field and how eolics came to be, and why truly understanding wind power is crucial to the future of renewable energies and the sustainability of our world.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
