First hydrodynamic tests of a 3×3 floating wind park with shared mooring
The cost and footprint of our future floating wind parks must come down, and being able to share mooring lines and anchors could…
Understanding the Physics of Ocean Structures with SIMA
Offshore structures like floating oil platforms, wind turbines, and fish farms are subject to loads from wind, waves, and current. Understanding the physics…
Faster simulations of floating wind turbines with shared mooring
Floating offshore wind (FOW) is pivotal in Europe’s energy ambitions. Nevertheless, there is a pressing need to decrease costs. A significant material and…
Easier access to metocean weather data
All offshore systems endure large environmental forces due to waves, wind and current present in the ocean. Weather data is a key input…
COP28: Making offshore wind a pillar of the decarbonised energy system
Developing offshore wind to the level required to meet climate goals will require a concerted research effort by the international community, to help bring down costs and ensure the development is carried out in a sustainable way.
