Deutsche Windtechnik exploits turbine potential Due to height differences and wind shadow effects caused by adjacent wind farms, yields for the wind farm in Vierschau, northern Bavaria, remained clearly below expectations. Therefore the operating company Hydrovind commissioned Deutsche Windtechnik with the site-specific optimisation of the wind farm in 2012. With success: the Deutsche Windtechnik team installed a patented tracking system and increased the yield by three percent. Optimised tracking avoids cross winds, increasing the yield and protecting the blades Whilst reducing noise emissions and mechanical loads on the system as a whole. Always facing the wind The system developed by the engineering firm Frey essentially consists of a control cabinet and a self- learning control unit co
