Nezzy² Passes Another Test

Wind Industry Profile of

Floating wind turbine Nezzy² successfully passed its two-month test in the Bay of Greifswald. The 18-metre-tall prototype built on a 1:10 scale consists of two wind turbines on a floating platform and is being tested jointly by the north German company aerondyn engineering and EnBW.

In the Bay of Greifswald, 180 sensors were used in 30 different measurements to establish how Nezzy² behaves when exposed to different wind directions and speeds as well as wave heights and directions. Nezzy² even withstood a storm tide in mid-October. Scaled up to the later true size of Nezzy², the wave and wind conditions were equivalent to a category four to five hurricane with waves reaching heights of up to 30 metres. “For one and a half days, we were able to observe how... ...
