ForWind is working on the important questions concerning wind energy research in numerous research projects. The scientific spectrum ranges from meteorology and materials research to the integration of wind power into the electrical grid.<\/p>\n
How can the turbulence in the wake of wind turbines be recorded as accurately as possible? What loads act on the support structures of offshore wind turbines? What opportunities does wind power offer for a decentralized energy supply in the future?<\/p>\n

Future offshore wind turbines will be over 300 meters in total height with rotors over 280 meters in diameter. Thus, they are subject to little known impacts and conditions that can form at altitudes of over a hundred meters.
