Are you looking for a suitable test environment, strong partners or high-quality data? We are happy to support you! Take advantage of our customised services and advance wind energy together with us.
Test environment - The WINSENT test site is an open and globally unique research, development, and testing platform in mountainous and complex terrain. It combines real and virtual environments and offers ideal conditions for demanding research and development projects. Test and validate new components and software under realistic conditions and benefit from a powerful measurement and IT infrastructure. The WindFors cluster complements the offering with scaled models for wind tunnel tests, landscape models for flow analyses, and high-resolution laser scan data of the turbines.
Research network - The WINSENT test site is supported by the Wind Energy Research Cluster WindForS - a network of over 25 groups at seven universities and research institutes in southern Germany. The WindForS members are working together to make wind energy utilisation more sustainable and efficient. Benefit from the comprehensive expertise of the network and start your next research project together with us.
Open Science - We are actively committed to the principles of open science - open data, open source and open access. Our aim is to make research results as accessible and reusable as possible, whether for practical application or for future research and development projects. In this way, we help to reduce social acceptance barriers and promote the transparency of energy and climate policy decisions. Our data portal gives you access to current and historical measurement data.
