According to the Global Wind Energy Council, the worldwide installed base is growing every year with new power plants that collectively produce some 63,000 megawatts, around a fifth of which is generated in mountainous regions. Installations on flat terrain are easier to operate than plants erected in rugged terrain where yield forecasts are more uncertain, wear and tear are greater, and maintenance costs are higher. The ZSW with its partners in the WindForS network and other renowned research institutions aims to answer the question of how to optimize these systems' performance and extend their service life in various projects. In a team headed up by ZSW, these wind energy experts are building a field-test research site at Stöttener Berg near Geislingen an der Steige. This video provides an overview of the current and future research topics at the WINSENT site.
