Using the wind energy sector in Denmark as a success case, this study investigates dynamics and systemic conditions that have been driving technological innovation within the sector in order to draw lessons that can be transferred to new green technology areas. The study revolves around seven test and research facilities that are part of the wind energy sector in Denmark: Poul la Cour Tunnel research facility, Center of Reliable Power Electronics (CORPE), Østerild – the National Test Centre for Large Wind Turbines, Blade Test Centre A/S (BLAEST), Lindoe Offshore Renewable Center (LORC), GreenLab Skive and Force Technology.
