Subsurface Model

Precise knowledge of the seabed is crucial for a successful expansion of offshore wind energy. At Fraunhofer IWES, we rely on high-resolution seismic methods that provide detailed insights into the upper 100 meters of the subsurface.

Author: M.Sc. Rouven Brune The wind resource and soil conditions in particular are often investigated when planning the exact sites of individual wind turbines within a planned offshore wind farm. The Fraunhofer IWES employs acoustic methods to characterize the subsurface,…
