Wind Energy in Complex Terrain

The expansion of onshore wind energy plays a crucial role in addressing the challenges of the energy transition. In southern Germany in particular, potential sites are often located in complex terrain (hills, forests, etc.). This places increased demands on project development, wind measurements, and AI-based data analysis.
