First wind energy test field in mountainous terrain worldwide approved

Here, researchers can optimise the plant engineering and control system of wind turbines for use in complex terrain.

The European university competition for sustainable building and living in the city is entering the next round.

Researchers are developing a forecasting tool that calculates the impact of wind turbines on aviation navigation aids.

Many district heating networks in North Rhine-Westphalia run at high temperatures of approx. 100 °C or higher.

Smooth power plant operation requires binding guidelines for the construction of mirrors or receivers.

Whether photovoltaics, wind power or geothermal energy: Research funding enables innovations and patents in the field of renewable energy sources.

An innovative measurement concept will in future support the servicing of wind turbines. This will also help to further optimise the plant design.

With its alternative wafer manufacturing process, the company aims to enter into mass production of photovoltaics in 2022.

Wind turbines and photovoltaic modules have a limited lifetime. A number of projects are looking at how the components can be recycled.
