Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO) announced today that it is starting a study into the impact of wake effects on the energy yield of offshore wind farms. In the coming years, the installed capacity of offshore wind energy in the Dutch...
A new consortium of some of Europe’s leading ecological consultancies with extensive expertise in wind and solar energy development and its impacts on wildlife, including Waardenburg Ecology and its subsidiary BESE from the Netherlands, has been formed with the aim...
Dutch independent research institute MARIN has opened participation for the WiSP3 Joint Industry Project, a two-year Wind Assisted Ship Propulsion research project. More and more ships are equipped with devices to capture wind to their advantage. To get past the...
TNO is extending the ongoing study on the effectiveness of one black rotor blade at a wind farm in Eemshaven by placing sensors in and around wind turbines. At the end of 2021, the Province of Groningen and power company...
This week, the ‘SUstainable resilient Data-enabled Offshore wind farm and COntrol co-design’ (SUDOCO) project kicked off. In this project, several partners look at sustainable wind energy in the long term. The result of the project is an open-source software package...
Last week, nine key research organisations and universities, inlcuding Dutch research centre TNO, signed a cooperative agreement to establish a European Centre of Excellence (EuCoE) on wind energy to boost European leadership in onshore and offshore wind energy research. The...
TNO and SpectX are combining their expertise areas in the IBIS (Increased Blade Inspection Safety) project. This new one-year project is aimed at making wind turbine blade inspections faster, cheaper, and safer by employing advanced autonomous drone technology and digital...
Fishing experiments are taking place in Princess Amalia Wind Farm (PAWP) this summer. Special pots will be set out to catch crabs and lobsters and then measure the catch. This project, ‘Win-Wind’ led by Wageningen Marine Research, is investigating the...
A recent noise measurement study at Wind Farm N33 has reached a preliminary conclusion that the humming sounds causing nuisance to local residents appear to occur mainly when curtailment is taking place. From May 8 to 23, 2023, a noise...
Fugro has been commissioned by the government of Curaçao to carry out a geophysical survey of the seabed in the waters around Curaçao as part of an exploration of wind power generation opportunities. Fugro starts the survey today and is...
