About Fraunhofer-Institut für Windenergiesysteme
The Fraunhofer Institute for Wind Energy Systems IWES conducts application-oriented research for a sustainable future. Wind energy is the backbone of our energy supply – as renewable electricity or in the form of hydrogen – and is based on highly developed plant technology, which is also the result of a large number of innovative research projects at Fraunhofer IWES – from the planning process, development, construction and operation, to the monitoring of the plants, repair processes, service life, and the dismantling and recycling of all components. The main topics of the Fraunhofer IWES are offshore, hydrogen, test infrastructure, and digitalization. The research work in these future-oriented key technologies plays a central role in the innovation process and strengthens the business location for the benefit of our society by transferring the research results to industry. The Fraunhofer IWES has built up an innovative test infrastructure for testing and validating wind turbines and electrolyzers. It supports industry in developing new products and systems and continuously optimizes the validation methodology. More than 400 employees in science and administration at nine locations are developing innovative methods to accelerate the expansion of wind energy and hydrogen economy, minimize risks, and increase cost efficiency.
