The WILLOW project’s integrated system will provide a data-driven curtailment solution for wind farm operators, looking for a trade-off between power production and lifetime consumption.
In future, vessels used for transferring offshore crew will be electric and will need to charge offshore. With the infrastructure for turbine-mounted chargers not yet widely available, vessel-to ...
Dutch startup FLASC has developed a system to store excess electricity from offshore wind farms onsite. That way, the parks can provide power even when the wind is not blowing.
Anyone who occasionally walks by the North Sea has long since ceased to be surprised by the many wind projects on the horizon. With a planned expansion of 3.5 gigawatts of wind power capacity in the ...
Recently, two POM West Flanders projects for innovation on the coast received a Flemish subsidy of almost 1.3 million euros. Both of the approved projects are located on the coast: Test@Sea, in which ...
On 5 December 2023, a new, joint lecture from the European Patent Academy and the EUIPO Academy shines a light on why intellectual property (IP) is important to protecting your (green-tech) business.
Floating wind turbines and offshore hydrogen production and storage are hot topics at home and abroad. This became abundantly clear at the Wind Energy Technology Summit organised by Sirris on 12 and 13 September 2023. Even though there are many opportunities to be seized, there is still a lot of uncertainty and work to be done when it comes to both these topics. You’ll find a compilation of the main impressions and messages from the event below.
In offshore wind farms blade damage caused by erosion is a frequent cause for blade failure and power loss. To offer a durable solution, Sirris has developed a methodology, based on the detection of ...
New developments in technology, materials and information can make the operation of future floating wind farms cheaper, which will also reduce electricity generation costs.
After a successful test series, Siemens Energy was able to demonstrate that a new step-up transformer for wind industry applications can also start in cold conditions, to improve the cold-start ...
WindEurope, the largest event by and for the European wind industry, presented us with the latest trends and state of the art to be found in this booming sector. Sirris was a part of it, as a visitor ...
