Fraunhofer IWES Launches New Research Project Aimed at 20 MW Turbines

Wind Industry Profile of

The Fraunhofer Institute for Wind Energy Systems IWES’ mobile test facility for grid compliance tests research project, also known as “Mobil-Grid-CoP” in German, is being launched with the aim of developing and commissioning a mobile grid simulator.

As a mobile test facility, the grid simulator will serve to verify current and future grid system services as well as electrical properties of a wind turbine. This will allow the testing and optimization of the grid compatibility of very large wind turbines with an output of up to 20 MW. The Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWi) is financing this research project to the tune of € 12.7 million. Within the scope of the restructuring of the power grid, renewable energies are increasingly being... ... More: Official Press Release Fraunhofer IWES
