Finished projects 2022

Within the project, we will extend a reference architecture for digital twins in such a way that it can represent modularity and take into account modifications incorporated into the system. The developed procedures are applied by estimating the residual service life of components and put to the test on the Adwen AD 8-180 research turbine. VGB-Forschungsstiftung, 07/2021 - 06/2022

In this project a coherent data and model space is created for the co-simulation of usage scenarios for a future hydrogen economy. To facilitate this, key components of the hydrogen value chain are modelled.

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
