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…
We are looking for a candidate with enthusiasm for academic research in the field of wind energy to support the research project “Pragmatic Wind Modelling”.
Pragmatic Wind Modeling Intelligent selection of wind models for complex terrain in Germany and Switzerland One of the first steps in predicting the performance of a wind farm is to model…
In the November 2017 edition of the Esslingen University of Applied Sciences' Spektrum magazine, there's an article by Professor Hermann Knaus about his work with WindForS, particularly about modeling winds…
Andrew Clifton and Hermann Knaus presented the WindFors research platform at the Offenburg Windenergie Messe on November 16.
WINSENT AND WINSENT-BW: Developing a wind energy test facility in complex terrain Goals The WINSENT project is divided into three sub-projects:The detailed characterization of the research facility's micro climate and meteorology,The…
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…
Within the framework of the Baden-Württemberg Sustainability Days the “Studienzentrum für Nachhaltige Entwicklung – Study Centre for Sustainable Development” of Hochschule Esslingen held a symposium on 3 June. The symposium was chaired by Professor Hermann Knaus.
