The Fraunhofer Institute for Wind Energy Systems Bremerhaven (IWES) combines the expertise of its staff with a comprehensive testing infrastructure unmatched anywhere in the world. Since 2011, the research institute has been operating two rotor blade test rigs for blades of up to 70 metres and up to 90 metres in length. Despite the great successes and the global recognition enjoyed by IWES’s methods to test entire blades – including tests of two of the world’s longest rotor blades at more than 80 metres – it is already clear that the current procedure is reaching its limits as blade lengths continue to increase.

High-performance electronics is increasingly becoming a key technology for the energy transition. Almost all multi-megawatt wind energy installations are connected to the grid via high-performance electronics. This technology is crucial for the integration of wind energy into the grid and for transporting the electricity generated across large distances. MORE
The German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI) is responding to the growth at its Bremen site and is massively upgrading its research and test infrastructure. This is resulting in a platform for human-machine cooperation, space and underwater robotics, and embedded systems with a unique European experimentation environment. The DFKI’s new building, which was completed at the end of 2013, is to be enlarged for this purpose in a second construction phase in order to provide the space needed for project rooms, workshops, test areas and experimental environments. In future, pioneering work is to take place here in the fields of cyber-physical systems, verification of embedded systems, aerospace, assistance and rehabilitation systems, adaptive production and agricultural robotics in cooperation with innovative, high-performing companies.

The street lighting in the fishing port is being modernised. Old mercury vapour lamps are being replaced by low-energy LED lights. This measure will not only vastly cut electricity costs, but will also help to mitigate climate change. MORE
The Gröpelingen neighbourhood initiative consists of two partners: Gröpelingen Marketing e.V. and Kultur vor Ort e.V. The two initiatives are tasked with integrating the local economy with the neighbourhood culture. In addition to their existing responsibilities of neighbourhood networking and promotion, as well as event promotion, the two associations started providing advice to SMEs in early 2015. MORE

The citizens of Bremen will soon be able to enjoy a waterside view at a beach at the turning bay, the north-west end of Überseestadt. Today’s ugly pile of stones and rocks is to be transformed into a new leisure and relaxation area for Überseestadt and the neighbouring areas of Gröpelingen and Walle. MORE
The Kistner site in Lehe has been vacant at least since 2005, when the H. F. Kistner construction company went bankrupt. Roughly 4.2 hectares in size, the site’s central waterside location, its accessibility and the attractive landscape mean that it offers excellent prospects for development. The site between Hafenstraße and the Geeste is now to be revitalised. With a blend of local services, retail outlets, housing and culture, a new, attractive centre is to be created in Lehe. MORE
