Research at the Endowed Chair of Wind Energy (SWE) treats wind turbines as complex integrated systems. The researcher focus in their work on improving the reliability of turbines and on lowering the production costs of energy. Thus, central topics comprise the dynamics, the design, and the operation of large grid-connected wind turbines onshore and especially offshore. The implementation of this research at the SWE is carried out in four research groups:

1. Operation of Wind Turbines, LiDAR Technologies
   
2. Aeroelastic Behaviour of Wind Turbines and their Components
3. Load Monitoring and Control
4. Structural Dynamics of Offshore Wind Turbines
