Vor diesem Hintergrund hat das Fraunhofer-Institut für Windenergiesysteme im Auftrag des VCI Nordost die notwendigen Rahmenbedingungen für einen schnellen und effizienten Wasserstoffhochlauf der chemisch-pharmazeutischen Industrie in Ostdeutschland untersucht. 1️⃣ Handlungsempfehlungen für einen regulatorischen Rahmen wurden erarbeitet, wie z.B. ▶ Bevorzugte Genehmigung für neue, innovative Technologien, die Neuansiedlungen im direkten Umfeld und dezentrale Lösungen begünstigen ▶ Technologieoffene Förderinstrumente sowohl für die Wasserstofferzeugung als auch für die Wasserstoffnutzung entlang der gesamten Wertschöpfungskette 2️⃣ Zudem wurden Lösungsansätze für wirtschaftliche und technologische Hindernisse entwickelt, u.a. ▶ Anschluss aller Chemieverbundstandorte an das Wasserstoffkernnetz sowie Finanzierung weiterer Ausbaustufen ▶ Förderung dezentraler Insellösungen zur Einbindung von KMU, spezialisierten Unternehmen und kleineren Chemiestandorten 👉 Der Aufbau einer leistungsfähigen Wasserstoffinfrastruktur ist eine der Grundvoraussetzungen für die grüne #Transformation der chemisch-pharmazeutischen Industrie in Ostdeutschland. Sie erfordert erhebliche Investitionen in die Infrastruktur, klare gesetzliche Rahmenbedingungen und Förderansätze, die Innovationen unterstützen und den Zugang zu Wasserstofftechnologien erleichtern. Ein schneller Hochlauf kann nur als Gemeinschaftsaufgabe von #Industrie, Politik und Wissenschaft gelingen.

🎉𝗟𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗹𝘆 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗰𝘂𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗮𝘁 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗽 „𝗛𝘆𝗱𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗲𝗻 𝗟𝗮𝗯 𝗕𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲𝗻“ We were happy to welcome international #hydrogen experts at our “Hydrogen Lab Bremerhaven” workshop last Friday. Our colleagues Jan Wenske, Nora Denecke and Kevin Schalk chaired the event and gave insights into our #testinfrastructure at the Hydrogen Lab Bremerhaven. Our colleague Gesa Quistorf spoke about “Electrical testing and validation of electrolyzers to match future grid requirements”. Together with the participants they discussed what is needed to achieve the goals of the German National Hydrogen Strategy. In addition, they talked about how a wind-hydrogen system can be used offshore and how it can be comprehensively tested on land in advance. 🤝 Special thanks to our external speakers Axel Dombrowski, Dr. Saskia Greiner, Robert Haase and Max Ostrowski for their input as well as to Sima Jonoud, David Wenger and Andreas Wellbrock for participating in the interactive discussion round. We enjoyed the day with vivid discussions about testing electrolyzer systems! Thank you for coming.

This method enables accurate prediction of boundary layer transition from laminar to turbulent flow, improving aerodynamic force calculations for airfoils and #windturbine blades. The method was applied to 2D airfoils, a 2.5D blade section, and a full IEA 15MW wind turbine blade. The transition prediction framework uses Python and extracts boundary layer properties directly from CFD fields. Initial validation against XFOIL and experimental data shows promising results for 2D cases, with future work planned for 3D turbine blade validation.

After an initial introduction, our colleagues gave our visitors a tour of the Dynamic Nacelle Testing Laboratory (DyNaLab), where they spoke about our test methods for generators or complete nacelles in the multi-megawatt range. This was followed by a guided tour of the Hydrogen Lab Bremerhaven, where our colleagues explained our current #research activities in the field of #hydrogen technologies. In the buoy hangar, our colleagues showed our visitors one of the Fraunhofer IWES wind #lidar buoys. The delegation spent the entire week exploring innovative German technologies and best practice examples in the field of #offshore #windenergy. The exchange is intended to promote the Indian energy transition, create new incentives and facilitate initial contacts. 🤝🌏 eclareon GmbH organized the trip on behalf of the Bundesministerium für Wirtschaft und Klimaschutz and in cooperation with the Indo-German Chamber of Commerce. Thank you very much for the visit, the valuable exchange and the opportunity to present our research activities!

Have a look at the current issue "Research news" by Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft and learn more about our Mobile Grid at our site in Bremerhaven. It is a mobile grid simulator with an output of 80 megavolt-amperes (MVA) to measure the electrical properties of wind turbines and to demonstrate current and future grid system services.

Öffentliche Stromnetze sind hochkomplexe Systeme. Die Hersteller von #Windenergieanlagen müssen beim Anschluss neuer Anlagen technische Richtlinien einhalten, um die Stabilität der #Stromnetze nicht zu gefährden. Forschende vom Fraunhofer-Institut für Windenergiesysteme haben im Projekt »Mobil-Grid-CoP« eine mobile #Testplattform entwickelt, die auch für #Offshore-Windenergieanlagen im Freifeld realitätsnahe Tests unter Volllast ermöglicht. Die Technologie hilft bei der Validierung und Zertifizierung der Anlagen und unterstützt die Transformation der #Energieversorgung hin zur verstärkten Nutzung #erneuerbarerEnergien. Bisherige Testsysteme, die ermitteln, ob neue Windenergieanlagen den Richtlinien genügen, geraten mit der zunehmenden Leistung und Größe der Anlagen an ihre Grenzen. Das gilt besonders für die großen Offshore-Windenergieanlagen auf dem Meer. Daher legten die Fraunhofer-Forschenden den Fokus auf genau diese: Der mobile Teststand vom Fraunhofer IWES kann auch sehr große Windenergieanlagen bis zu einer Leistung von 28 Megavoltampere (MVA) prüfen. Hersteller erhalten ihre Zertifizierung dadurch deutlich zügiger als bisher. »Unser Testsystem ist ein Netz-Emulator, der zwischen das öffentliche Netz und den Prüfling geschaltet wird und so dem Prüfling das elektrische Verhalten des Stromnetzes vorgaukelt. Das öffentliche Netz wird dabei in keiner Weise beeinträchtigt«, erklärt Gesa Quistorf, Gruppenleiterin Leistungselektronik und Netzintegration am Fraunhofer-Institut für Windenergiesysteme IWES in Bremerhaven. Was die Teststation dabei genau überprüft, erfahren Sie hier: https://lnkd.in/ej8xk3cp
