  • Pragmatic Wind Modeling: Aligning Research in Germany and Switzerland (23/04/2019)
    Computer models allow us to estimate the winds across wind energy plants before and after construction. They are vital tools for wind farm design and operation, but are expensive to run and have a significant learning curve. And accuracy can vary quite a bit, too. So how do you choose the right model? How do you find the ...
