| Description: | The development in the field of wind turbines is continuously growing. However, most of the times, the energy of wind is exploited by using huge wind-power plants, while wind energy installations in urban and suburban areas, as space and available land, are a lot more limited, is something relatively new, with great potential though. The major challenge regarding small urban wind turbines can be summarized as a lack of understanding of the wind resource in the built environment, with a combination of missing measurements in this field that needed to be addressed. Aarhus University Campus Herning, located in the suburban area of Herning, is looking for a suitable place to install one small wind turbine (SWT). This study attempts to provide a comprehensive framework for SWTs and the characteristics of urban wind flow. The analysis helped in identifying the two most appropriate sites for SWTs installation sites in the AU Herning building. |
