Research

aj permanently carries out research, often at own cost, to improve the quality of the work. Research topics were in the past, e.g.

• Energy losses due to curtailments for the protection of bats
• Use of the turbine’s own wind speed data to determine energy losses
• Long term stability of the wind speed in reanalysis data
• Data for the long term reference / wind index
• Long term reference, long term variability of the wind resource
• Wind speed profiles
• Frequency distributions at large hub heights
• Influence of forest on the wind speed profile and the energy output of wind turbines
• Influence of the shape of the terrain on the energy output
• Thermally driven winds
• Wind measurement, wind measurement instruments, measurement of turbulence
• Power curves and turbine behaviour
• Wind farm effects
