The conference is established as an important venue on deep sea offshore wind R&D organized in association with the European Energy Research Alliance (EERA) joint programme on wind energy. The aim is to present the latest and best on-going R&D on deep sea offshore wind farms.

In total 56 oral and 67 posters were presented addressing new turbine and generator technology, grid connection and power system integration, met-ocean conditions, operation & maintenance, installation and sub-structures, wind farm optimization, online technology transfer network for wind energy research and numerical reference wind farms.

The presentations and posters from EERA DeepWind’2016 Conference are now available at the conference website EERA DeepWind’2016  whereas selected papers are now in peer-review for publication in the open access journal Energy Procedia (Elsevier).

Mark your calendars: The next EERA DeepWind conference will take place in Trondheim, 18 – 20 January 2017.

Infographic showing the flow of thermal energy storage (TES) from surplus heat or cold to end users. On the left, red and blue thermometer icons represent surplus heat and cooling, accompanied by the text “Surplus heat or cold – Captured and stored for when it’s needed.” In the centre, a large panel titled “Thermal Energy Storage (TES)” presents three storage technologies. The top section, “Sensible TES,” shows a container with a thermometer and the text “Stores heat in one single phase.” The middle section, “Latent TES,” shows a water droplet and snowflake connected by circular arrows, with the text “Stores heat through phase change.” The bottom section, “Thermochemical TES,” shows two connected coloured circles that separate and reconnect, illustrating a reversible reaction, with the text “Stores heat through reversible reactions.” A large pale arrow-shaped wedge points from the TES panel toward the right side of the figure. On the right, three application areas are shown in separate boxes with icons: industrial processes, buildings, and data centres. The layout conveys that surplus heat or cold can be stored using sensible, latent, or thermochemical TES technologies and later supplied to industrial facilities, buildings, and data centres.

Thermal energy storage is already commercial
