Fraunhofer Institute for Wind Energy and Energy System Technology, Research institute in Bremerhaven, Germany.
The Fraunhofer Institute is a research facility in Bremerhaven that focuses on developing and testing wind energy systems. The work involves examining turbine components and optimizing approaches to capture and use renewable energy efficiently.
The facility was founded in 2009 as part of the international Fraunhofer research network. It emerged from Germany's effort to build its capacity in sustainable energy research and strengthen its role in this field.
The work conducted here has shaped Bremerhaven's identity as a center for wind energy research in Germany. Specialists from different fields collaborate in the laboratories to develop new approaches to renewable energy challenges.
Visitors can access the facility only by scheduling a visit in advance through the official website. Information about ongoing research projects helps you understand what to expect before arranging your appointment.
The laboratories offer rare opportunities to test wind turbine components under realistic and varied environmental conditions. This specialized equipment allows researchers to expose parts to the stresses they would face in actual operation at sea or on land.
