Energy yield calculations of a wind turbine with tethered blades

Tiira is a wind turbine concept with tethered blades, designed to sweep an extraordinarily large area of air and thus extract more energy with a similarly sized system.

Research project

CODEWIND - Community-centred wind energy in Switzerland: developing a digital co-design framework for collaboration and planning

There is a lack of understanding of the potential environmental, social, and economic benefits of wind energy for local economies in Switzerland, and a lack of standardised tools for different Swiss cantons to use.

Research Data Alliance grant

Recommendations for improving cross-disciplinary FAIR data sharing in wind energy

Research project

Mistery - Modelling and estimation of unsteady aerodynamic flow at high Reynolds number

In the turbulent atmospheric boundary layer, an increasing number of engineering systems experience aerodynamic unsteady flows, including wind turbines, helicopters, and air vehicles. Interactions with the turbulence in the atmosphere can lead to large load fluctuations, shortened lifetime and reduced effectiveness of aerodynamic…

Research project

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

We work actively on improving diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI), both in our own working environment and in the wind energy sector in general.

Research project

WeDoWind

WeDoWind is a thriving community of diverse people from the wind energy sector sharing data and knowledge and learning from each other openly. WeDoWind is based on WeDoData, a Blueprint for an inclusive open innovation ecosystem developed by the Wind Energy Innovation Division of the Eastern Switzerland University of Applied…
