Fraunhofer Institute for Wind Energy Systems (Fraunhofer IWES) has deployed a Wind Lidar Buoy equipped with two different next-generation profiling Lidar systems to assess their suitability for offshore applications. The campaign is evaluating the performance of Lumibird's BEAM6x WindPower and Vaisala's WindCube 2.1 XP under identical offshore conditions.

Fraunhofer Institute for Laser Technology ILT is developing laser-based manufacturing processes to apply PFAS-free functional coatings to industrial components, including large plain bearings, seals and other parts relevant for the wind energy sector. PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) have traditionally been used in applications requiring low friction, wear resistance and protection against harsh operating conditions. However, regulatory pressure on these substances is increasing due to their persistence in the environment. Replacing PFAS-based coatings requires not only alternative materials but also suitable processes to apply them reliably to components exposed to high mechanical loads.

Researchers at Delft University of Technology have received funding through the NWO Open Technology Programme to develop a computational framework for the design of innovative monopile foundations for offshore wind turbines in deep waters. The RAPID-Wind (Real-time Analysis and Prediction of Innovative Monopile Designs for Next-generation Wind Turbines in Deep Waters) project aims to improve monopile foundation design as offshore wind farms move into deeper waters, where structures are exposed to greater wind and wave loads.
