Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy (SGRE) has inaugurated its new R&D centre in Bengaluru in the Indian state of Karnataka that will be one of three major technology hubs of the wind turbine manufacturer, next to already existing units in Spain and Denmark.

The centre will focus on software and design engineering for onshore and offshore wind turbines, as well as digital technologies such as artificial intelligence and machine learning for a next generation of “smart wind turbines.”
