Wind as an alternative non-emitting energy source will continue to established itself in the years to come. Energy production by means of wind power will become more effective. Worldwide, greatly diverse wind environments require modern, innovative technologies which bring high yields.

Throughout the entire value-added chain of wind energy, the cost and the yield of wind turbines are being compared over and over again. In that respect, W2E sees the manufacturers of the wind turbines and the operators of wind parks as market annalists for various system concepts or technologies.

As a rule, it should be possible to use one technology for different locations with different wind conditions. W2E transforms this demand consistently in developing its inter-platform strategy.

W2E, thanks to its efficiency in engineering development, processes that are transparent to licencees and technologically innovative thinking, provides the market with wind turbines of long life expectancy, high technical availability and maximum yields.

The aim of W2E is the development of COMPLETE wind turbines of the multi-megawatt class including the certification and operation of prototypes. The company`s services extend from concept development to the construction of machine elements, dynamic simulation and analysis, load calculation, FEM calculations, the examination of grid behaviour, operational management and control to layout and specification of electrical and technical safety systems.

All wind turbines are designed for the onshore market, but the necessary prerequisites for the offshore business are already met today: condition monitoring, redundancy concepts, crane and replacement concepts, plug & play of components, maintenance-free energy accumulators for the pitch system, etc.

Of course, the expanded grid connection conditions of the BDEW [Federal Association of the Energy and Water Management Industry], the Technical Guideline for Generating Plants of the Medium-Voltage Power Grid, the Transmission Code 2007 and other national and international grid codes are included in the development from the start. From the beginning, the characteristic criteria of plant insurance providers are taken into account to achieve a favourable rating of the wind turbines.

The development results are offered to potential customers under licence. Our focus is international. Our product consists of documentation which enables licencees to produce the developed wind turbines, to start them up and to maintain them.
