The AEROVIDE GmbH (formerly aerodyn Energiesysteme GmbH) is a German company and engineering consultancy that develops wind turbines. This means that they develop and design the rotor blades, the tower and carry out the mechanical and electrical engineering of the wind turbine, including the turbine controller. Development is ambiguous in the industry. AEROVIDE does not do wind farm planning but is a specialised engineering company. Its headquarters are located in Rendsburg, Schleswig-Holstein.
The company was founded in 1983 by pioneers Sönke Siegfriedsen, Robert Müller and Friedrich-Wilhelm Frank as âÂÂaerodynâ in Damendorf. In 1986 the company changed to âÂÂaerodyn Energiesysteme GmbHâÂÂ. Rainer Osthorst entered the company in 1991, Markus Rees in 1993. In 1994 the company moved from Damendorf to Rendsburg (Germany). The company works on commissions and own projects.
In 1997 aerodyn Energiesysteme GmbH started to develop a 1500 kW wind turbine generator system for the newly founded company âÂÂpro+pro Energiesysteme GmbHâÂÂ. In 2000 Denker & Wulf AG pushed ahead the amalgamation of pro+pro, HSW, BWU, and Jacobs Energie, into Repower Systems AG, later Sevion S.A.
In 2010, work on an offshore wind park in China with the Chinese company Zhejiang Windey Engineering started.
In 2013, founder Siegfriedsen left the company and Markus Rees and Rainer Osthorst became directors.
Since 2020 the company is solely owned by the Managing Directors Markus Rees and Rainer Osthorst.
End of the year 2020 the trade mark agreement ends and a re-naming of the company into âÂÂAEROVIDE GmbHâ was necessary.
AEROVIDE serves customers worldwide. In addition to its development engineering team in Germany, the company has had a sales office in Shanghai (China) since 2006. Many OEMs manufacture wind turbines or rotor blades on the basis of the prototype developments from AEROVIDE (former Aerodyn), f.e.
