Finished projects 2025

The project partners are developing a scientific-technological platform for the preparation of the market penetration of Flettner rotors on different types of vessels and, in doing so, are contributing to lower-emission shipping. BMWE, 01/2023 - 12/2025

The project partners are identifying the technical requirements on roller bearings for use as rotor blade bearings in multi-megawatt wind turbines. BMWE, 07/2021 - 12/2025

Cost-efficient huge capacities electrolyzers are required to satisfy Germany’s green hydrogen demand. Although there are already high-performance electrolyzers available on the market today, they are still largely built by hand. The H2Giga flagship project will therefore support the serial production of electrolyzers. BMFTR, 04/2021 - 12/2025

The project partners are developing an innovative electrolysis system with storage technology which is optimally adapted to the offshore environment for deployment at sea. BMFTR, 04/2021 - 12/2025

The best conditions for generating renewable wind energy can be found at sea. The direct production of green hydrogen from wind energy in offshore turbines without a grid connection can lower the costs considerably compared with onshore generation. The H2Mare flagship project will thus investigate the offshore generation of green hydrogen and other power-to-X products. BMFTR, 04/2021-12/2025

The project partners are investigating the potential of fiber-reinforced foams as an alternative to the use of balsa wood in rotor blades. BMWE, 01/2023 - 12/2025

Fraunhofer IWES is developing novel material models for rotor blades that, with optimized blade mass, ensure reliable operation even under extreme temperature conditions. BMWE, 04/2020 - 12/2025

The project partners are developing a probabilistic, integrated subsoil model for subsoil investigation and assessment which will allow improved design of offshore wind turbines. BMWE, 01/2023 - 12/2025

The project partners are developing a new measurement method to localize and determine the depth of burial of power cables in the sea floor. BMWE, 11/2020 - 12/2025

The project partners are improving methods for the calculation of vortex-induced vibrations so as to be able to include these phenomena in the early phase of rotor blade design. BMWE, 07/2023 – 12/2025
