Authors: Muhammad Omer Siddiqui, Paul Robert Feja The requirements for wind turbine test benches are continuously increasing and demand, in turn, investments in test bench expansions or new test benches. Fraunhofer IWES has developed a hybrid test procedure to expand…
Authors: Paul Robert Feja, Muhammad Omer Siddiqui Over the years, we have witnessed rapid growth in both onshore and offshore wind turbine systems. At the same time, the entire wind industry has become even more competitive, as wind turbine manufacturers…
Author: Dipl.-Ing. Norbert Eich The Fraunhofer IWES has commissioned a development environment to test mechanical application for research purposes. Improved control concepts and mechanical issues can thus be tested more quickly more cost-effectively and in parallel with productive operation. With…
Authors: Dr. Eng. Mareike Leimeister, Dipl.-Ing. Philipp Thomas Compared with conventional offshore wind turbines, “floaters” open up enormous wind energy potential, as they allow development of so many offshore locations in deep waters. The Fraunhofer IWES has been developing a…
