Repowering has the potential to preserve wind sites and multiply output. The trend is increasing. But what do you have to consider when repowering? Read it in this article.

The project "H2Mare" of the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) plans a large-scale system generating green hydrogen from offshore wind energy.

Rotor blades are made of fibre composites that can only be recycled with a great deal of expertise. But smart processes are making it possible.

The German Wind Energy Association is advancing communication between the German and international wind industries.

About 300 attendees from all over Europe participated in the International WebSeminar “Recycling of Rotor Blades” on 25 October 2021. With this seminar the German Wind Energy Association aims to enhance sustainability in the use of glass reinforced plastic (GRP).

Karl Keusgen, CEO of Deutsche Windtechnik Steuerung GmbH & Co. KG, tells us more about the role of the german market, regulatory requirements and the necessary harmonisation and international technical ADLS standards.

Green hydrogen production is slowly picking up speed. The first projects are already producing the coveted gas from wind power. In contrast, the use of wind energy for heating is still weakening.

At the end of February 2021, the transponder-based ADLS system from Lanthan Safe Sky GmbH went live for the first time worldwide in a wind farm in Northern Germany. Mitja Klatt, Managing Director Lanthan Safe Sky GmbH, gives insights why the "German experience" is particular useful for an ...

Three blades, one tower and ever more efficiency through size growth - that is the successful model of wind technology. But the principle has limits: Larger turbines are harder to transport, and suitable areas without resident conflicts are becoming scarce. Are there alternatives?

Fishermen say their concerns, from safety issues to how offshore wind will alter the ocean environment, aren’t being meaningfully considered by regulators
