  3. 2. Internal narrative story

  4. Charles F. Brush (1849-1929): • first wind turbine pioneer • Paul la Cour (1846-1908): • founding farther of the ‘theory’ • Johannes Juul : • first AC- wind turbine The “Windmill-Story”:

  5. several key developments The “Windmill-Story”: • Charles F. Brush (1849-1929): • first wind turbine pioneer • Paul la Cour (1846-1908): • founding farther of the ‘theory’ • Johannes Juul : • first AC- wind turbine

  6. today: Multi-Megawatt wind turbines The “Windmill-Story”: • Charles F. Brush (1849-1929): • first wind turbine pioneer • Paul la Cour (1846-1908): • founding farther of the ‘theory’ • Johannes Juul : • first AC- wind turbine • several key developments

  7. 3. The Danish case vs. the US case

  8. The Danish case • energy crisis 1973 • grass-roots movement • development of ‘meaning’ • vital entrepreneurial network  Bottom-up and Top-down strategy

  9. The US case • energy crisis 1973 • ‘Big Science’ heavily funded from the State • knowledge from aerodynamics • compete with already existing power plants  Top-down strategy

  10. 4. Conclusion

  11. Conclusion • external factors played a crucial role • different meanings to technology • from grass-roots to ‘Big Industry’

  12. critic of sources • used material: books and online publications • books - internal narrative accounts • no access to relevant energy journals

  13. Thank You for your attention! Kristian Wolstrup Nørgaard & Ralf Leffin
