Offshore wind energy has gone through tremendous developments in recent years. Innovation was a key driver for its success. If offshore wind wants to make a lasting contribution to the energy transition, the sector must continue to innovate. David de Jager of GROW - a consortium with a joint research program in offshore wind - gives you in this podcast series an impression of the key research and innovations that will shape the future of offshore wind.
Rocks barely sound interesting, yet they are essential for the stability of wind turbine foundations. After all, they are used to prevent the erosion of sand around the monopile. Currently, the installation process of the scour protection ...
Extreme conditions… in an extremely short timeframe The Tubular Pile Pull-out Testing (TPPT) project impressively manages to mimic the conditions at sea for open tubular piles used for the mooring of floating wind turbines. Jan Kenkhuis ...
One ring to install monopiles faster, cheaper, and more silently. You’d expect the fabrication of equipment for the installation of large monopiles for offshore wind turbines to occur in or near a harbour close to the North Sea. But, ins ...
Developing the ultimate weather atlas for rain and wind in the North Sea A meeting with Iratxe Gonzalez Aparicio and Harald van der Mijle Meijer at the beach near Bergen aan Zee in the Netherlands on a sunny January day in 2023. To talk ...
Testing with piles in water and sand to understand the soil around monopiles. It sounds like a beautiful beach day: playing around with water and sand in an environment that cannot be taunted by rain. But doing so can result in more than ...
More energy through dynamic control over the wind flow inside an offshore wind farm “Wind turbines love a steady, constant, homogenous wind flow pattern. A wind turbine extracts energy from the wind. The wind pattern it leaves behind, downw ...
Offshore wind and the winning tickets for the coming years “The offshore wind sector is entering a new phase requiring a massive manufacturing and installation scale-up. Building a subsidy-free offshore wind farm should not mean that the ...
Meet the team who loves spinning around monopiles. The monopile foundations of wind turbines are subject to repeated (cyclic) loading by wind and waves. These forces are transferred from the foundation to the supporting soil, in a way th ...
Improving wind measurements to optimise power performance. To gain the most power from the installed wind turbines offshore and onshore, they must operate at their absolute best. That's why the Sensor Assisted Wind farm Optimisation (SAWOP ...
Innovations are needed if the offshore wind sector wants to install the huge foundations for the ever-larger wind turbines, as quickly and with as little noise as possible. Well, “The Gentle Driving of Piles (GDP) concept tends to just do ...
