More than the sum of its sciences: IWES.

Wind energy is the backbone of our future energy supply - whether as electricity or hydrogen. Our focus is on validating the necessary technologies and developing methods for their use. Testing and validating wind turbines and electrolysers as well as measuring and characterizing wind and sub-surface for the planning of offshore wind farms are therefore our main research areas. We would like to show you a selection of our services and innovative solutions in our short film.
