Workshop | Solar and Wind Energy

The Chair of Numerical Fluid and Gas Dynamics (NSG) at BTU Cottbus-Senftenberg and the Scientific Computing Lab (SCL) from Energy Innovation Center (EIZ) Cottbus are organising a workshop on the topic of "Solar and Wind Energy – A Fluid Dynamics Perspective on Loads and Volatility".

Solar and wind power drive the defossilization of the energy system, but destabilize the power grid due to volatile availability and sensitivity to unfavorable weather. How to cope with the physically unavoidable fluctuations is a grand challenge that requires transdisciplinary efforts. In this workshop, some open issues in renewable energy are addressed from the perspective of fluid mechanics. The requirements for the design and operation of solar power plants and wind turbines are considered, and it is discussed how computational fluid dynamics and stochastic approaches offer new pathways.
