Fraunhofer IWES and GERICS are launching a new research project to investigate climatic changes in wind and their influence on wind energy site assessment. Within the scope of the KliWiSt project, Fraunhofer IWES, together with the Climate Service Center Germany (GERICS), will be investigating the influence of climate change on wind energy site assessment in the coming decades.
In addition, specific recommendations for action for the future determination of yield assessments for wind farms are also to be derived from this. In the KliWiSt research project, the project partners will be analyzing climatic changes in connection with the wind over the coming 50 years as well as their potential consequences for wind farm yields.
