1 The Poul La Cour Award 2023 went to PeterHauge Madsen for his outstanding achievements inadvancing the European wind energy researchcommunity.

2 It was back in the 1970s that Danish engineersand scientists began to harness the power ofwind. Peter Hauge Madsens vision was to build a research society in Europe， bringing thebrightest European scientists and researchers together. During his career， Peter HaugeMadsen helped to shape and enlarge the Wind and Energy Systems department at theDanish Technical University （DTU）. Today， it is the largest research department for windenergy worldwide with more than 400 employees.

3 Research conducted by Peter Hauge Madsen and his team of scientists at theRis? Test Center was crucial in the development of the wind industry as we know ittoday. His dedication helped create a strong foundation for the commercialisation ofmodern wind turbines （涡轮机）. His knowledge of meteorological measurements helpeduse wind energy resources in a smarter and more efficient way. As part of his work， hehelped develop the Danish Wind Atlas （地图集）. Today， energy planners around the worlduse this atlas to get an overview of the most favourable conditions for wind turbines.

4 During the award ceremony， Peter Hauge Madsen said，“ I have been driven by theidea that wind energy can solve some of the worlds most pressing issues. I am very proud tohave built a strong team of researchers. Together we have been driving new perspectiveswithin the industry. Today we have come so far that wind has become the main source ofelectricity in many parts of the world. Thats more than we could have ever imagined 40years ago.”

5 The Poul la Cour Award is presented to people for their outstanding achievements inthe wind industry and is named after Poul La Cour—a Danish physicist， meteorologist，inventor and folk high school teacher.
