NTUA Wind Tunnel Technical Info Day

In the framework of the Horizon-Europe TWEET-IE project, a NTUA Wind Tunnel Technical Info Day, took place on the 26th of June at ANYM Building. The capacity for research and services was presented through presentations of past and present case studies.

Twin Test 2 tests in NTUA Wind Tunnel

The Twin Test 2 (TWT2) tests in NTUA Wind Tunnel were successfully concluded. The TWEET-IE project TWT2 tests focus on wake interactions of a cluster of turbines and wake steering techniques. By implementing various wake control strategies it is possible to significantly increase the energy production of a wind farm.

EAWE Webinar: Blind Test On Wind Turbine Wake Modelling

We are pleased to announce that EAWE ogranizes the online webinar "Blind Test On Wind Turbine Wake Modelling" which is based on the TWEET-IE Blind Test sessions, on 20/6/2024 (15:30-17:00, UTC+01:00). Find out more about the registration and the webinar link here.

Blind Test Sessions

We are pleased to announce a Blind Test on modelling controlled and uncontrolled wind turbine wakes. Wind turbine wake modelling is crucial to optimizing future wind farm layouts and hence reducing the cost of energy.

Twin Test 2 tests in TUM Wind Tunnel

The Twin Test 2 (TWT2) tests in TUM Wind Tunnel were successfully concluded!

The TWEET-IE project TWT2 tests focus on wake interactions of a cluster of turbines and wake steering techniques.

The first Annual Report of NTUA Wind Tunnel is published

The Wind Tunnel at the National Technical University of Athens is publishing its first Annual Report. Find out more about the Wind Tunnel's activities and highlights of 2023!

Summer School: Wind Tunnel Testing for Wind Energy and Urban Flows

A summer school for postgraduate students and young researchers interested in advanced wind tunnel testing techniques for wind energy and urban flows.

Effects of vegetation on urban flows [TWT1 results]

The effect of vegetation on urban flows is studied with measurements of the flow past a surface mounted cube with openings, representing a building exposed to an atmospheric boundary layer. PIV data from NTUA WT experiment and LDV from KIT WT experiment are published.

TWEET-IE 12M Plenary Meeting & Administration and Management Workshop [NTUA, 9-10 November 2023]

NTUA hosted the TWEET-IE 12-month Plenary Meeting and the Administration and Management Workshop on the 9th and 10th of November in Athens, Greece.

Twin Test 2 is in progress at TU Munich wind tunnel!

Performance and flow field measurements in the wakes of scaled wind turbines will be examined, in order to clarify the wake interactions of a cluster of turbines and to decide on the wind farm control through wind turbines wake manipulation techniques. For this purpose the used model turbines have integrated torque, pitch and yaw control capabilities.
