Researcher, ForWind, University of Oldenburg

Biography

My journey in wind energy began 2010 with my Engineering Physics studies at the Carl von Ossietzky University of Oldenburg focussing on wind energy in the renewable energy track. I finished my Bachelor's degree (B. Eng.) in 2013 and my Master's degree (M. Sc.) in 2016. Afterwards I joined the work group Wind Energy Systems of Prof. Kühn as research assistant. I started working on operational analysis of wind turbines using high-resolution measurement data, e.g. the prediction of blade root bending moments using high-resolution SCADA data and a neural network. In 2018 I started my PhD on the analysis of power output fluctuations of wind turbines based on high resolution SCADA data. I investigated the correlations of power fluctuations of offshore wind turbine pairs and their characterisation. Currently, I am working again with long-range lidar measurements for short-term power prediction of offshore wind farms and the prediction of ramp events.
