Jenni Rinker

Jenni Rinker is an Associate Professor in the Department of Wind and Energy Systems at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU). Her research focuses on wind turbine dynamics, aeroelasticity, and control systems, with particular emphasis on improving turbine reliability and optimizing energy output through advanced measurement techniques like lidar technology. She leads initiatives such as the DigiWind project and actively collaborates on international efforts like the IEA Wind 15 MW Reference Turbine. Dr. Rinker teaches courses including LAC (46320) and PiWE (46120), emphasizing hands-on project management and student supervision.

• PhD Supervision: Esteban Soto Sagredo (Flow-field estimation), Seyed Mozafari (Fatigue Reliability), Mikkel G. Pedersen (Structural Degradation)
• Key Projects: DigiWind (2024–2027), PyConTurb (Python-based turbulence tools), Turbulence-Driven Design Optimization

Her work contributes to UN Sustainable Development Goals, notably SDG7 (Affordable and Clean Energy). Recent research highlights include wind field reconstruction using lidar data, fatigue reliability analysis, and aeroelastic stability in floating turbines. She has supervised over 15 student projects, emphasizing structured weekly reporting and milestone tracking through DTU’s CampusNet system.
