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.
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 ...
How to prevent damage to rotor blades Rotor blades are made of strong materials that look indestructible, yet they get damaged by water and that costs a lot of money. Harald van der Mijle Meijer (TNO), and Julie Teuwen (TU Delft), put on ...
How to combine the best features of all materials and put it together in large structures. Offshore wind support structures make a significant part in the total cost of an offshore wind turbine. They continuously need to cope with a wide ...
Steel does not “react that optimal” to these offshore conditions that cause degradation. The corrosion of monopiles, a?threat?to the future of offshore wind? Senior scientist Richard?Pijpers?and project manager Joke?Luyten, both working ...
Offshore wind installations might be a wonderful solution to a serious problem for humans, the underwater sea life is now negatively impacted instead. Linda Kemp, project manager at MARIN shows how bubbles can prevent wind turbine installa ...
