The provision of electrical energy is essential for the functioning of our modern society. To reduce our dependence on fossil fuels, new and more sustainable energy sources are being researched. Wind energy has already proven to be a very popular solution in Germany, but the electricity is typically generated from large wind farms, which require high investment and construction costs. Together with the Chair of Fluid Machinery in Energy Technology, the Chair of Steel and Hydraulic Steel Construction is investigating the use of small wind turbines to generate clean energy in residential buildings. The research project covers a variety of topics, including: the development of new types of small wind turbines, the dynamic interaction between the small wind turbines and the building, and monitoring the turbine to study the effects of ice and fatigue on its performance.
