NPorts tests container wind turbine

02.04.2025
EMDEN. Since February, NPorts has been testing the first container wind turbine operated in a German seaport with its partner, the Swiss start-up company FlowGen. This offers wind power, photovoltaics, battery storage device and a car-charging option in a single solution and is being funded as part of the EU Interreg “REDIIPorts” project. Thomas Tröster, Team Leader for Electrical Engineering at NPorts: “The wind turbine is designed to generate more than 45,000 kilowatt hours of electricity per year. This is more than enough to operate the main gate to the port and the premises located here, as well as to light the car park.”
