5th International RAVE Workshop 2024 in Berlin

 

We are delighted to have held the 5th International RAVE Workshop 2024 in hybrid form as a successful event.

This year's workshop took place on March 13, 2024 at a central location in Germany.
The RAVE coordination at IWES as host enjoyed the professional team and support of Fraunhofer ENIQ  in their hospitable premises in the EUREF Center in Berlin.
The technology during the event allowed virtual participants to dial in at any time according their own interest. Active participation in the discussion was also possible via the chat function with the published link.

The workshop was free of charge and offered again a space for knowledge transfer and lively exchange on offshore wind-related topics. Current research findings using the generated data from alpha ventus were presented and questions from participants were discussed.
This year's focus were discussions about the research contribution to the end-of-life strategy and industrial implementation such as lifetime extension, repowering and dismantling. Alpha ventus will be the first German wind farm to reach its design life. It will be followed by many large wind farms.
The breaks were also filled with lively discussions on specialist topics. New contacts were established between science, authorities and industry and existing networks were revived.

You can find the program and the presentations here on our website. The presentations listed below can be downloaded thanks to the kind permission of the authors. They are only available in English.

Almost 100 international participants and an interesting program with a lively exchange encourage us to continue this format in the following year with the 6th International RAVE Workshop. After receiving a lot of positive feedback, we are already looking forward to it.

If you would like to present your research results, we look forward to hearing from you. raveworkshop@iwes.fraunhofer.de
