Interview taken with Dorothee Peters, who studied engineering physics and joined DLR-Networked Energy Systems in Oldenburg in 2015 while completing her master’s degree. Presently she is now member of the scientific staff at the Department of Energy Systems Technology.

Have a look at photos and videos from experiments in the large Oldenburg wind tunnel.

ForWind scientists Detlev Heinemann and Björn Witha work on determining and predicting wind flows for wind farms or larger regions. Thanks to such forecasts, amongst others, experts are constantly getting better at calculating wind yields.

Turbulence is a permanent state for wind turbines, says ForWind scientist Joachim Peinke. He uses mathematical methods to describe the small-scale fluctuations of the wind and how these depend on large-scale flows.
