Finished projects 2023

The project partners are developing a standardized process for efficiency determination on system test rigs for wind turbines. European Metrology Research Programme EMPIR, EU Horizont 2020, 09/2020 – 08/2023

This model project comprises the development of a hydrogen production unit and a value-added chain in Bremerhaven. The project partners ttz Bremerhaven, Hochschule Bremerhaven and Fraunhofer IWES will test applications in the logistics and transport sector as well as the food industry. EFRE, State of Bremen, 03/2020 - 09/2023

The project partners are forming an interdisciplinary training and education network for 15 early stage researchers (ESRs) in the field of wind lidar systems with the aim of further developing key technologies and training scientific experts. European Union’s Horizon 2020 program, EXCELLENT SCIENCE – Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions, 10/2019 – 09/2023

With the aid of a data trust model, the project partners are implementing the FAIR principle for research data from wind farm operation and, in doing so, breaking down barriers to cross-company data exchange. BMBF, Europäische Union NextGenerationEU, 1/2022 to 12/2023

The project partners are developing effective solutions for increasing the reliability and robustness of inverters in photovoltaic systems and frequency converters in wind turbines. Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft in the scope of the internal program PREPARE, 03/2020 - 11/2023

The project partners are developing a virtual wind farm site assistant which will be able to optimize operational management and maintenance using early fault detection methods on the basis of high-resolution data. BMWK, PtJ 12/2019 - 11/2023

The project partners are developing and testing a methodology for the optimal use of subsoil exploration data in the development of offshore wind farms. BMWK, 03/2020 - 12/2023

With the aim of rendering the design of large rotor blades as cost-effective as possible, Fraunhofer IWES will investigate in the HighRe project common design procedures and assess their validity. This involves measurements on one of the world’s largest wind turbines. BMWK, 6/2019 – 5/2022

The project partners are developing an intelligent control strategy for wind turbines which is able to guarantee the effective protection of blade bearings and, at the same, keep yield losses and additional loads on turbines to a minimum. BMWK, 01/19 - 05/22

The project partners are examining the impact that offshore wind farms have on each other. Meteorological data are being collected using various measurement methods and, on the basis of this, models for future expansion scenarios will be developed. BMWK, 11/2019 - 04/2023
