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 ...
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 ...
Following two successful summits, Sirris is organising the Wind Energy Technology Summit for the third time. The aim of the masterclass and the seminars is to inform and inspire companies and organisations about emerging technological developments in the (offshore) wind energy sector. This year, we are linking two seminars on emerging technologies - floating wind turbines and the combination of offshore hydrogen production with offshore renewable energy - in a two-day program. This is being done in combination with the Offshore Wind PhD Days. We will round off the Summit with a masterclass for new engineers in the (offshore) wind sector.
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 ...
The PHairywinD project is a Belgian academic offshore wind network for young researchers, as a launchpad for academic excellence, industrial interaction and international outreach. This data exchange ...
A pilot project intends to test a floating wall of wind turbines off the Norwegian coast. The electricity which can be generated would satisfy the power consumption of some 80,000 households, while ...
Icing is a huge challenge for machines and other products in cold climates. Monitoring and testing the functionality and durability of parts is therefore essential to ensure product quality and safety ...
