Modelling wind over complex terrain is one of the great challenges for the wind energy community. It's also a great challenge for the high performance computing infrastructure that supports it.…
How can the latest meteorological technology be used to ensure optimal use of wind for renewable energy? That was the question that Meteorological Technology International's reporter asked University of Tübingen…
The WindForS WINSENT project to build a wind energy research facility on the Swabian Alb has cleared a major hurdle: at the beginning of June 2020, the Göppingen District Office granted approval…
If you’re working on RD&D for wind energy in complex terrain in the DACH countries and want to know what everyone else is doing, come along to the WindForS 2020 workshop on “Wind Energy in Complex Terrain” on 8th October in Stuttgart.
WindForS was founded to investigate the effect of complex, hilly terrain on wind energy. In this research update, Dr. Daniel Leukauf from KIT IMK-IFU shares the results of research he carried out in the WINSENT project.
There’ll be a couple of WindForS members at WindEurope’s 2019 Offshore Conference in Copenhagen. Frank Lemmer from the University of Stuttgart will be presenting a paper, and Andy Clifton (WindForS…
More and more wind farms are being built in the waters around Europe, Asia, and soon in the USA. But as more wind plants are built, there's a chance that they will start to change the wind conditions locally. The new X-Wakes project will investigate how the wind conditions in the German Bight might change with large-scale expansion of offshore wind farms.
