STUTTGART

The SWE is the first university chair for wind energy in Germany, was founded in 2004 and is based on an endowment by Dipl.-Ing. Karl Schlecht, founder of Putzmeister AG, Aichtal. The use of wind energy is actively promoted through cooperations within the university, with companies, and other research institutions. In research, the SWE concentrates on understanding wind turbines as an integral system. Theoretical and practical basics of wind energy are taught in lectures... In order to establish renewable energies in the long term and implement the energy transition, energy production costs must continue to fall. This applies both to the conversion of wind energy onshore and offshore on the high seas.
