Data Warehousing for Distributed Offshore Research at Alpha Ventus - Overview and Insights gained

摘要

alpha ventus is the pilot project to build the first German offshore wind farm under real sea conditions. The project started in 2007 under the promotion of the Deutsche Offshore-Testfeld- und Infrastruktur-GmbH & Co. KG (DOTI), a joint organization founded by the three major German energy companies E.ON, EWE AG and Vattenfall, and partially funded by the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety (BMU). The project is accompanied by several research projects that are organized in the Research at Alpha Ventus (RAVE) initiative~2. For these projects, a data warehouse is used to store, archive, and provide access to the technical and environmental high-resolution data that the alpha ventus wind farm generates.
