8.7.4 Offshore test site “alpha ventus”<br />

The offshore test site “alpha ventus” is located 45 km north of the island of Borkum next to<br />

the research platform FINO 1. It comprises twelve offshore wind turbines with a total capacity<br />

of 60 MW. Six AREVA Wind M5000 turbines were installed in summer 2009, six REpower<br />

5M turbines followed in 2010. The German Federal Environment Ministry supports alpha<br />

ventus with a major research funding. The RAVE initiative is accompanying the construction<br />

and operation of the test site to attain a broad basis of experience and expertise for future<br />

offshore wind parks. Several research projects are currently carried out. Within the RAVE-<br />
