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…
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.
We now have two 100-m tall meteorological masts measuring the atmospheric conditions at the WINSENT test site.
WINSENT Weather Data ZSW operates the WINSENT test site in the Swabian Alb for WindForS. The plots below give you an idea of the conditions at the site over the…
About twenty five of us met today to share updates on recent progress within the WINSENT project.
Building the WINSENT wind energy test facility in the Swabian Alps will take some time, patience, and a bit of luck. Welcome to our WINSENT diary!
Starting this month, we'll be posting regular updates about what's been happening at the WINSENT test field. You can find all of the news and updates here.
From ZSW: S&G Engineering GmbH and the Centre for Solar Energy and Hy-drogen Research Baden-Württemberg (ZSW) have agreed to col-laborate with a deal clinched at this year's German wind energy…
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…
