In addition to his Master's degree in Engineering Physics with a focus on wind energy at Carl von Ossietzky University of Oldenburg, 36-year-old Benjamin Ahrens also brings valuable experience from the manufacturer perspective to his new position: Expertise in the areas of project management, power curve measurements and prototype testing from his professional role in ENERCON's research and development department strengthened the solid foundation for his start at Deutsche WindGuard in 2019. Following around one and a half years as an experienced project engineer in the Power Curve and Wind Measurements department, Benjamin Ahrens took over its deputy management in mid-2021. As the new head of the company's own measurement equipment workshop, he also initiated its extensive reorganisation from January 2023.

“With Benjamin Ahrens, we were able to encourage a highly motivated and excellently qualified expert from within our own team to accept responsibility as a Managing Director,” says 59-year-old Axel Albers. As co-founder of Deutsche WindGuard Group, he is particularly focussed on benefitting from the younger generation’s potential while setting course for the future at an early stage.

“As an accredited testing and calibration laboratory, Deutsche WindGuard Consulting has always been an industry leader in shaping key developments, innovations and standards,” adds Benjamin Ahrens, “customers all over the world highly recognise our expertise and services, for example in the areas of power curve, noise and load measurement, wind potential, energy yield and site assessment or the analysis of operational data for evaluating the performance of onshore and offshore wind farms. One of our major goals for the coming years is to further enhance our services and align them even closer to our customers' requirements, while at the same time equipping ourselves for the constantly changing demands of the market.”

Thus, Axel Albers and Benjamin Ahrens will continue to support their various expert teams in further adapting current tools and processes to enhance the interconnection of internal knowledge and respond even more effectively to external challenges. In 2025, Deutsche WindGuard will also commission new LiDAR calibration sites and significantly intensify its cooperation with various partners in the Asian-Australian market.
