RECASE at the trade fair Husum Wind 2017
From September 12th to 15th the trade fair “Husum Wind” will take place. Professional visitors, interested individuals and friends from all fields of wind energy and of other applications of regenerative energies are very welcome to visit the RECASE booth B24 in hall 1.
RECASE will present services in terms of engineering, consulting and project management for operators, service providers, manufacturers, developers and component suppliers for on- and offshore wind turbines and projects.
In this way, manufacturers and service providers will be informed about our engineering services in the equipment design and the support of complex technical projects which are performed by RECASE engineers.
For customers of the offshore sector, we will present our Interface Engineering, e.g. for the development of the electrical system for the transition piece and the interface to the wind turbine.
Together with the booth neighbour “AIRWIN GmbH” we will present approaches and concepts for the qualified analysis of operating data and for the quality assurance of the maintenance contracts and technical management of wind energy plants.
At the joint booth of Watt_2.0 (booth B22, hall 5), the network meeting of member companies in the matter of renewable energy supply, RECASE will also be represented. There you will find that our focus this year is the concepts for the Post-EEG remuneration of wind energy on the German market – e.g. in self-supply concepts, as potential sales models for wind energy after the expiry of the EEG remuneration.
We are looking forward to your visit at our booth 1B24 or at the joint booth 5B22 of Watt_2.0.
- Yours RECASE Team -
P.S.: On Wednesday, 13.09.2017 from 4:30 p.m., welcoming drinks will be held offering a glass of beer, wine or champagne at the RECASE & AIRWIN booth. We will be very happy if a lot of people will come so we don’t have to take lots of beverages back home!

RECASE tests the prototype plant at CWD Aachen
RECASE Regenerative Energien GmbH performed the full-scale test of a two-bladed SCD 3 MW at the Centre for Wind Power Drives (CWD) of the RWTH Aachen on behalf of the company aerodyn engineering GmbH.
The tested wind turbine prototype was developed by aerodyn on behalf of the Japanese government and will be tested as a demonstrator on a floating foundation from summer 2018 on at the offshore test field of Kitakyūshū in the south of Japan.
RECASE has been commissioned to support the development of the electro-technical design of the wind turbine and to test the constructed prototype before it will be transported to Japan within a 3-week large-scale test in cooperation with the RWTH Aachen.
The state-of-the-art test bench of the CWD provides all options to study the mechanical, electrical and thermal behaviour of a newly developed wind turbine at different wind loads. With the help of power units of 4 MW loads, which are similar to those of the real wind field, will be applied to the powertrain of the wind turbine, at which any load cases are simulated and measurement series can undergo. Furthermore, the test bench of the CWD allows to perform market-specific tests for grid requirements (e.g. Fault Ride Through Tests), which can even be used for certification purposes.
Jörg Zeumer, Project Engineer and Project Manager of the company RECASE for the prototype test at the CWD: “The conditions provided at the CWD are great. Measurement campaigns, which would require several months if we needed to perform them on the field, can be performed very compressed and sometimes within a few hours.”
The results of the prototype plant of the Company aerodyn on the test bench were positive all the way through. All set test requirements could be fulfilled or partially even surpassed. After the successful test, the plant is now on its way to Japan.

RECASE draws a positive conclusion of the New Energy 2017
As in the previous year, RECASE has again participated in the watt_2.0 industry get-together at the New Energy in 2017. During the four days of the trade fair from March 16th to 19th, RECASE presented its new service portfolio around the development and implementation of self-sufficient concepts based on renewable energies, of electromobility and charging infrastructure concepts as well as of systems for the so-called ‘energy monitoring’.
Both private visitors and the specialist audience were particularly interested in the visualisation of energy processes and the development of a database supported energy monitoring for local and regional energy systems.
The New Energy, being recognised for its quality again proved among others by the top-class watt_2.0 Forum engaged with speakers such as Hans Joseph Fell, Dr. Meeno Schrader or Dr. Nina Scheer and by the FURGY Clean Innovation congress. Later on, it became apparent that the trade fair has been visited by private persons as well as by specialist audience which reflected in numerous targeted and fruitful discussions.
As part of the election year 2017, the New Energy was also in the focus of the political interest. Therefore, numerous political representatives (e.g. the federal Environmental Minister Hendricks, the Schleswig-Holstein Prime Minister Albig or the Schleswig-Holstein Environmental Minister Habeck) made use of the New Energy as a discussion platform for the topics energy revolution and Integrated Energy as well as for a lively exchange with the industry for renewable energies.
RECASE is glad about the success at the New Energy 2017 and is looking forward to participate in the watt_2.0 industry get-together again next year.
