Projects
Here you can find the different current and completed projects of the RAVE research initiative.
In 2007, the research initiative RAVE started the planning for the alpha ventus offshore test field, which operates since 2009. During these more than 10 working years, many projects delivered and evaluated an extremely high pool of measurement data. Based on the data, new research results and findings were obtained in many research projects.
