Posters
Come meet the poster presenters to ask them questions and discuss their work
We would like to invite you to come and see the posters at our upcoming conference. The posters will showcase a diverse range of research topics, and will give delegates an opportunity to engage with the authors and learn more about their work. Whether you are a seasoned researcher or simply curious about the latest developments in your field, we believe that the posters will offer something of interest to everyone. So please join us at the conference and take advantage of this opportunity to learn and engage with your peers in industry and the academic community.
On 9 April at 17:15, we’ll also hold the main poster session and distinguish the 7 best posters of this year’s edition with our traditional Poster Awards Ceremony. Join us at the poster area to cheer and meet the laureates, and enjoy some drinks with all poster presenters!
We look forward to seeing you there!
PO136: Techno-economic wind potential in germany at the municipal level considering state -specific regulations
Thorsten Reichartz, Research Scientist, Center for Wind Power Drives
Abstract
Germany aims to increase its onshore wind energy capacity from 61 GW to 160 GW by 2040, requiring approximately 2% of its land area for wind energy. Knowledge of the wind potential under legal and technical constraints is essential for stakeholders such as developers and policy makers. This study develops a model to assess Germany's techno-economic wind energy potential at the municipal level using current setback rules, geospatial data, and wind turbine types. The model takes into account state-specific regulations and categorizes potential areas into those that are suitable without restrictions, those that require a case-by-case assessment, and forested areas. The methodology includes selection of appropriate wind turbines, assessment of geographic potential using various datasets (e.g. Digital Basic Landscape Model and Digital Terrain Model), application of setback rules and classification of sites based on wind speed data from the Global Wind Atlas. Economically unviable sites are excluded based on cost assumptions and estimated electricity revenues. Attendees will gain a detailed insight into the available areas for wind energy in Germany based on current regulations, which will help stakeholders to make informed decisions.
