The ICONIC project is funded by the European Union's Horizon Europe Research and Innovation Actions, the UKRI Horizon Europe Guarantee scheme, and Innossuisse.

The consortium brings together an interdisciplinary team of experts from seven academic institutions and seven companies across seven Europe countries. The team gathers a comprehensive range of expertise encompassing component, turbine, farm, and grid integration levels, as well as specialized knowledge in modeling, control, AI, aerodynamics, digital twin, and wind power.

Our goal is to create new digital and physical tools to achieve groundbreaking, integrated control of wind farms. This initiative focuses on understanding and optimizing the entire physical system, from the overall farm to individual turbines and components, emphasizing the aerodynamic interactions between turbines. The proposed solutions will be demonstrated by an extensive validation study via high-fidelity simulation models, experiments at a national-level wind tunnel, historical operational data, and real-world wind farm field tests.

Through these efforts, ICONIC aims to establish and pioneer new realms of knowledge and industrial leadership in key digital, enabling, and emerging technologies. ICONIC aims to directly contribute to Europe's Key Strategic Orientations C and A, paving the way for intelligent integrated wind farm control and delivering next-generation technologies for the wind energy sector.
