Live and act
After studying and doing his doctorate on wind turbines in grid operation , he worked as a lecturer at the University of Kassel for more than 30 years until his retirement in 2011 , where he was most recently professor of the wind power technology department in the electrical power supply systems department of the Institute for Electrical Power Engineering. His main research topics were component and system development, system control and the grid integration of wind turbines . He is the author of several authoritative textbooks , e.g. Some of them have also been translated into English and several revised versions have been published in German (see below). He also published over 100 specialist articles.
Heier was also active in various national and supranational organizations.
