Teresa Simões
Insights on the Planning the installation of Offshore Renewable Energy Systems
Teresa Simões has a PhD on Environment and Sustainable Energy and has been working in the wind Energy sector since 1999 at LNEG (Laboratório Nacional de Energia e Geologia, former INETI) since then. She is currently a Researcher at LNEG and the responsible for the Wind Energy Area. She is an Invited Professor at the Sciences Faculty of the University of Lisbon, and alternate Member at IEA Wind and EERA Wind. Her main research interests and work developed until now, are related with wind resource assessment in complex, urban and offshore environments, CFD modeling and development of planning methodologies for the installation of Renewable Energy Systems. She has participated in several European funded projects and is a member of the Management Committee of COST Action MODENERLANDS and responsible for LNEGs activities in the H2020 LEAP-RE project for Africa.
