• Gregor Giebel - The idea with Train²Wind

Interview with Gregor Giebel, Head of Section and project lead, in the idea behind Train²Wind and how research is going to benefit society.

• Interview with Gabriela Miranda García - Turbulent Fluxes in Large Offshore Wind Farms

Interview with Gabriela Miranda García. Her ESR project - Turbulent Fluxes in Large Offshore Wind Farms - uses unmanned aerial systems to study the behaviour and evolution of turbulent properties within offshore wind farms. The work will contribute to the groundwork of large eddy simulations by providing valuable datasets from otherwise unreachable locations around and inside offshore wind turbines.

• Interview with PhD fellow Guiyue Duan

He shares his ESR project, Cyclic Yaw Control: A new strategy to improve wind farm performance.

• Interview with Oscar Garcia-Santiago about his ESR project - Mesoscale modelling of wind farm wakes: An aid to measurement campaign design

In his project, he intends to combine wind resource assessment with climate change scenarios. “The grid we use for wind resources and weather prediction is huge. If you want to investigate the turbine's design, we need to confront the defects of the turbine inside these grids. So, my research is to count these effects in large grids. These models are fast and can be easily implemented by everyone. We can do experiments and set planning better,” says Oscar.

• Abdalmenem Owda introduces his ESR project - Satellite remote sensing for coastal and offshore windenergy applications.

"I am trying to explore the abundancy of using this unique data set, which is SAR data, in order to facilitate and to benefit offshore wind energy applications; wind resource assessment for better offshore wind farm planning." says Adbalmenem.

• Interview with Mosaab Sajidi about his ESR Project - Increasing accuracy of turbulence measurement for airborne measurements using a five hole prove

"The idea is to get more accuracy, so when you have a different environment rather than the one that you actually made the calibration of, you get false readings. False readings means false results. And thus, anything that has come to designing, to whatever you are designing, you are going to design either over-engineering or under-engineering, so it's going to create more problems in the future" says Mossab.

• Interveiw with PhD fellow Abdul Hasseb Syed

"In my PhD, I am looking at the energy recovery process in large offshore wind farms using measurements from aircrafts, data from lidars and in-situ measurements from various test sites that are located offshore. " says Abdul.

• Matteo Bramati introduces his PhD project - Multi-rotor UAS for marine ABL profiling

"This group has applied this technology [drones] to the atmosphere, and we are among the few people in the world to do this type of work. And I feel we can help quite a lot the builders of the wind parks with our technology". says Matteo about the Train2Wind project.
