News New study improves the trustworthiness of wind power forecastsPublished:29.01.25 — By applying techniques from explainable artificial intelligence, engineers can improve users’ confidence in forecasts generated by artificial intelligence models. This approach was recently tested on wind power generation by a team that includes experts from EPFL.Congratulations to our new Doctor of Science, Dr. Mou LinPublished:22.09.23 — Last Thursday marked the public defense of Mou Lin, in which he presented his doctoral thesis entitled "Wind Turbine Wakes in Active Yaw Control: Numerical and Theoretical Studies."“Fluid mechanics is a fascinating field because it's very visual”Published:01.12.22 — EPFL professor Fernando Porté-Agel has won the ENAC Polysphère Award for the second time in under a decade. He uses concrete examples and novel teaching methods to make fluid mechanics a fun, interactive topic to study. A new paper published in the journal EnergiesPublished:15.07.21 — We are pleased to share our new paper "Large-Eddy Simulation of Wind Turbine Flows: A New Evaluation of Actuator Disk Models" published in Energies (DIO)A new paper published in the journal Remote SensingPublished:02.12.19 — The paper entitled ‘Characterization of Wind Turbine Wakes with Nacelle-Mounted Doppler LiDARs and Model Validation in the Presence of Wind Veer’ just got published in the journal Remote Sensing.Striking the right balance between wind energy and biodiversityPublished:12.03.19 — EPFL researchers have developed a simulator that can calculate the performance of wind farms over 30 years while also factoring in the need to preserve local biodiversity. Tested at a site in the Carpathian Mountains in Romania, the simulator could be applied to the Swiss Jura region, which has a similar landscape.
