Climate-Resilient Energy Systems: Challenging but Achievable
intelligently. For example, a well-planned mix of PV, wind, and hydropower can mitigate seasonal fluctuations: PV generates more electricity in summer, while wind generates more in winter," says Demet Suna (AIT) [...] Simultaneously, climate change affects the output of renewable energy sources. The number of sun and wind hours in specific regions is changing, and even hydropower generation is heavily impacted by climate [...] transitioning the energy system is complex and requires substantial investments, ranging from expanding wind and photovoltaic capacity to enhancing power grids. However, from a technical perspective, it's all

Riblet surfaces lead to lower fuel consumption [...] consumption and thus reduced CO2 emissions in aircraft and to higher electricity production in wind turbines. Even minor damage and wear of the riblets impair the efficiency of the riblet effect. Regular [...] manager at VAC, underlines the importance of the new inspection solution for various industries: "Wind energy, aviation, motor sports, shipping - all these markets are very large and will need solutions

AIT CoDeC-Symposium
AI-driven wind flow simulation for digital urban planning In the City Intelligence Lab, an artificial intelligence-based simulation for wind flows was developed. This makes it possible to determine wind factors [...] allowing designs to be analysed and optimised in real time at every planning stage, taking wind factors into account. Wind flows are of great importance in times of extreme weather conditions with regard to dangerous [...] and heat days with and without adaptation measures, to develop different climate models, to create wind simulations, to answer questions, and to develop new scenarios.

Start of the LOM-Ice Project
Certification Specifications. Icing wind tunnel tests represent one of the most important means of compliance in this respect. Icing and snow conditions are generated in icing wind tunnels by injecting water particles [...] in wind tunnels. A measurement technique that is both non-intrusive, capable of sampling wide spatial regions, and measuring a large set of cloud features, will be provided as a support for wind tunnel [...] monitoring of the injected particle clouds. This is especially important for snow conditions, for which wind tunnel cloud generation technologies are still under development. In this perspective, it is crucial

Efficient power generation in wind turbines through intelligent rotor blade heating systems
operation of intelligent rotor blade heating systems in wind turbines to ensure efficient electricity production even in winter temperatures. Wind energy is Austria's second most important alternative [...] energy source. However, the alpine climate often causes the rotor blades of wind turbines to ice up in the winter months. Then the wind turbines have to be shut down until they defrost naturally or artificially [...] In the recently launched research project SOWINDIC - Smart Operation of Wind Turbines under Icing Conditions - an interdisciplinary team of experts from VERBUND, the AIT Austrian Institute of Technology
