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...
OneSea Energy B.V., in collaboration with Subsea7, will investigate the technical feasibility and commercial value of coupling a large-scale floating hydrogen production system with a floating wind farm offshore Scotland. OneSea Energy, a Delft – based provider of green hydrogen...
An international team of researchers, including Johan van der Molen and Katherina Alter of the Royal Netherlands Institute for Sea Research (NIOZ), will be investigating potential chemical contamination with dissolved and particulate pollutants from wind turbines. Several research projects on...
Offshore wind energy is growing enormously, but this growth comes with challenges. To maximise the value of large volumes of wind energy in the future energy system, we need to ensure feasible business cases for developers. Dutch research company TNO...
The EU has recognized the research proposal MERIDIONAL, which was developed by a group of 12 academic and industry partners. The project’s goal is to improve our understanding of high-altitude wind currents in order to promote the use of airborne...
Energy company Vattenfall has joined the GROW joint research program in offshore wind. Here a consortium of offshore wind industry and research partners initiate research and accelerate the innovations that are needed for the transition of the energy system. GROW...
