Measuring wind potential in low mountain ranges. Long-term measurements on a 200-metre-high met mast near Kassel.

Artikel

One of the highest meteorological masts in Europe is situated on Rödeser Berg, a hill near Kassel. The research facility with its measurement devices records the wind conditions up to a height of 200 metres. The aim is to measure the impact of forest areas and low mountain ranges on the wind profile and flow characteristics. The results will help to improve the meteorological models for assessing sites, will make it possible to estimate the loads on individual system components in more detail and will help to further develop the laser-based LiDAR method.
