This paper explores the history of wind power technologies and the integration of wind energy in the Danish energy system. It does so focusing particularly on historical events, socio-cultural and socio-political changes and priorities that were important on this technological journey. From the first primitive wind turbines in the late 1800s, to the world wars, through the energy- crisis in the 70s, and into the decades of growing environmental awareness and concern, this historical account describes how policy priorities in Denmark gradually translated from the focus on energy diversification, energy efficiency and energy independence to the focus on sustainability and renewable energy resources, with wind energy and wind power technologies at the top of the priority list. Historically, wind power has been - and it still is - popular in Denmark. However, as the modern wind power turbines gradually grew to industrial scale heights, unchallenged support for specific local wind farms could no longer be taken for granted. This paper also touches upon the frequently tacit dilemmas of renewable energy technology planning and deployment, for example issues of environmental justice, wind farm ownership structures, and the role of social psychology for low-carbon energy transition processes. Notably, attention is drawn to the representation biases that may result in the emphasis of wind farm opposition / grievances in the wider wind farm related debates, where resistance to local wind farm projects might derive from minority opposition groups. Insights and lessons learnt from this Danish history of wind power may prove valuable and inspirational for other countries engaging in low-carbon energy transitions.

本文探讨了风能技术的历史以及丹麦能源系统中风能的集成。它这样做的重点尤其是历史事件，社会文化和社会政治变化以及在此技术旅程中很重要的优先事项。从1800年代后期的第一台原始风力涡轮机到世界大战，再到70年代的能源危机，再到数十年来不断增长的环境意识和关注，这个历史记载描述了丹麦的政策重点如何从重点逐渐转变为在能源多样化，能效和能源独立性方面，以可持续性和可再生能源为重点，其中风能和风能技术是优先事项。从历史上看，风力发电在丹麦一直很受欢迎。然而，随着现代风力涡轮机逐渐发展到工业规模的高度，对特定本地风力发电场的无懈可击的支持将不再是理所当然的。本文还涉及可再生能源技术规划和部署中经常出现的默认困境，例如环境正义，风电场所有权结构问题以及社会心理学在低碳能源过渡过程中的作用。值得注意的是，引起广泛关注的是代表偏见，这种偏见可能导致风电场反对派/不满情绪在与风电场有关的更广泛的辩论中得到强调，在这些辩论中，对当地风电场项目的抵制可能来自少数派反对派团体。
