TÜV SÜD mapped the wind resource potential in Hesse

On behalf of the State Ministry of the Environment of Hesse, TÜV SÜD developed a wind map for the German state of Hesse. The wind map offers a high level of accuracy which makes it an important tool for identifying wind priority areas. Given this, the map provides a reliable set of data for the targeted expansion of wind energy.

This map of the wind resource potential enabled the state government of Hesse to supply the regional associations with an important planning tool. Standardized state-wide wind mapping gives regional planning authorities a basis for decision-making to identify areas which are particularly suitable for future wind-farm projects. "Our wind map is prepared in accordance with the state of the art and with the help of a special modelling program which supplies informative results even in complex terrain", explains Peter Herbert Meier, Head of Wind Assessments at TÜV SÜD Industrie Service GmbH. "The result is a comprehensive map of the wind resource potential across the German state of Hesse that can be used in compliance with the provisions of Germany's Renewable Energy Sources Act (Erneuerbare-Energien-Gesetz, EEG)."
