Challenge:

In this section, you should outline the specific “Challenge” that you are seeking to address and provide an overview of the approach that you are using to address it.
Given the format of this abstract and the event itself, you should not aim to give an overview of your entire research project. Instead, focus in on one interesting aspect of your research that you feel the wider wind energy community would be interested in hearing about. Stick to the research. Be concise.
Abstracts are to be a maximum 2 pages in length with no alterations to the print boundaries. Text no smaller than 10 pt is to be used in the main body, 9 pt in captions and 22 pt in the title. The use of images to summarise your work is encouraged, but do not exceed the 2-page limit!
All abstracts are to be converted to PDF format prior to submission.

Impact:

Who will this research benefit and how?

References:

Yes, these need to be within the 2-page limit also! Font size 9 pt can be used if needed. You don’t need to reference every fact and figure given. Save that for your poster. Here it is best to include 2 – 5 key references where the reader can find out more about this work, why it is important etc. Use the Harvard referencing style.
