Measurement service project
• All measurements needed in RAVE projects are combined in a seperateproject
• Co-ordinated by the German Federal Maritime and Hydrographic Agency
• Measurements performed by UL international and DNV-GL
• Installation, operation and maintenenceof sensors and measurement systems
• Logistics of offshore operations• Data transport, processing and storage
in the RAVE data base

Data access
• RAVE data is funded by the German government with the aim tosupport the development of offshore wind through research
• Data access procedure has been changed 2019, data accessibilitygreatly improved
• However, data is confidential:
– a standard data usage agreement has to be signed (availableon homepage)
– Exception: Access to high resolution data from turbinecontrollers require bilateral agreement with manufctorers
• New project ‚OpenRAVE‘ (2020-2025) support use of data

Conclusion
• RAVE is an essential cornerstone in the development of offshore wind energy in Germany
• alpha ventus and RAVE are used as blueprint for offshore wind power demonstration worldwide
• Co-ordinated and cross-linked research can be used as prototype for other large research initiatives
• RAVE has collected a long-term and unique data set of in-situ measurements– 10 years of data– Extensive instrumentation of 4 turbines– 100m met mast
• Most of the data are easily accessible for research
