Finished projects 2022

Together with its project partners, Fraunhofer IWES is developing COAST 2.0, a software solution for optimizing the costs and risks of weather-dependent offshore and T&I activities. BMWK, 07/2018 – 06/2022

The influencing factors that trigger defects of power electronic components will be systematically assessed in order to develop efficient protection. On the basis of experimental investigations, damage models and models for calculation of the remaining service life are generated. At the same time, comprehensive failure and operating data is evaluated and field measurements are carried out. BMWK, 12/2018 - 11/2022

The cooperative project RadKom-QS has the goal of developing a novel, autonomous and cost-effective sensor network that is integrated during the production stage and enables remote monitoring of operational rotor blades. BMWK, 11/2018-04/2022

The project partners are developing an economically feasible disposal strategy allowing as high a recycling quota as possible and thereby enabling a sustainable circular economy. BMBF, 10/2021 - 06/2022

Development and design of modular, innovative, and cost-efficient PEM electrolysis components and development of a downstream compression system. BMBF, Zwanzig20, 11/2019 - 05/2022

The project partners are developing a technically optimized, resonance-based test method to investigate the soil-structure interactions of offshore foundation structures and allow fatigue testing of large components. BMWK, 01/2019 – 11/2022

The aim of the joint project is the development and testing of a novel reversible electrolysis technology for efficient production of hydrogen from renewable energies and its reconversion into electricity.

Fraunhofer IWES is developing and operating a test field for state-of-the-art wind turbine technology in Bremerhaven which will be connected to the existing large-test rigs at the IWES. BMWK, 12/2016 - 09/2022

The project partners are developing and testing sensors which enable point measurement of the wind speed in front of the rotor of a wind turbine. BMWK, 12/2018 - 08/2022

Together with the project partners Institute for Geotechnical Engineering (IGtH) and Test Center Support Structures in Hannover (TTH) (both affiliated with the Leibniz University Hannover), the IWES is investigating the applicability of approaches to describe the soil-structure interaction of monopile foundation under cyclic loading by means of large tests.
