Wind energy has become an important cornerstone for a successful energy transition. Without a massive conversion and expansion of onshore and offshore wind energy, Germany will not be able to achieve its climate protection goals and ensure a secure supply of sustainable electricity. The performance of complex wind turbines has increased enormously in recent decades, not least thanks to intensive research.
Wind energy research at LUH is part of ForWind, the joint center for wind energy research at the universities of Oldenburg, Hanover and Bremen. Together with the German Aerospace Center (DLR) and the Fraunhofer Institute for Wind Energy Systems IWES, ForWind forms the Wind Energy Research Alliance.
The Collaborative Research Center Offshore Megastructures (SFB 1463) was launched in 2021. Using the concept of a digital twin, an integrated design and operating methodology for offshore megastructures is being researched and demonstration examples of an offshore wind turbine with an output of more than 20 MW, with a focus on support structures and rotor blades. Further information on the SFB can be found on the corresponding project page zu finden.
