history

The genesis.

The founding idea for a regional research institute with a focus on energy technology for renewable energies goes back to Prof. Ritschel (University of Rostock, Chair of Wind Energy Technology) and Carlo Schmidt (Managing Director of WIND-projekt Ingenieur- und Projektentwicklungsgesellschaft). The background to these considerations was the fact that up to now no research institute in north-eastern Germany has dealt with the topic of renewable energies, wind energy technology and sector coupling. The advantages of such an institute lies in its regional roots and independent expertise in the development and conversion of wind energy use in the federal state Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.
