Social acceptance
Wind energy as a technology achieves an unmatched social consensus. Nevertheless, neighbours and the public very often perceive local projects as inequity and threat. The TUM LAREG projects research how regional and local proceedings and public participation could be qualified by the implementation of holistic landscape aesthetic concepts, informal masterplans and diversity of planning variants.
Landscape-oriented design
Landscape-oriented Design High wind turbines bring a total new dimension, proportions and sights, into the cultural landscape. To contribute to an affirmative aesthetic perception, the TUM LAREG research projects survey…
Grid connection and storage
Grid Connection and Storage Wind energy is intermittent but can be integrated into an electrical grid with success. WindForS members look at how forecasting, storage, and grid design and operation make it…
Operation and controls
Operation and Control Keeping the next generations of wind turbines and wind plant working safely and efficiently needs new tools and approaches. We work on new ways of operating wind turbines and…
Testing, measurements, and monitoring
Testing, Measurements, and Monitoring Validating wind turbine designs and keeping them operating at peak performance requires lots of data about wind resource, operating conditions, loads, and the turbine's components. WindForS…
Construction and manufacturing
Construction and Manufacturing Wind turbines are complex machines with many different materials and components. We investigate how different materials, manufacturing methods, and automated quality control could reduce costs and increase…
Design and engineering
Design and Engineering Complex terrain often leads to high wind turbulence and thus challenging loading conditions for wind turbines. Offshore, wind turbines are subject to loads from the wind and…
Landscape architecture
Landscape Architecture Wind turbines bring new heights and shapes to the landscape. Our members explore the visual effects of wind plants and how wind turbines can be better integrated into…
Wind, waves, and climate
Wind, Waves, and Climate To make reliable wind plants that produce economical electricity, we need to understand the environment over time scales from seconds to decades.Wind turbines and wind plants…
