How do you create reliable infrastructure in difficult conditions at sea? That was the central question during 'Reliable AC/DC infrastructures @sea', organised by Sirris/OWI-Lab, KBVE-SRBE and the ...
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 ...
Now that more and more electricity is being generated from solar and wind energy, the demand for long-term storage of this energy is also growing. Batteries are a booming business and the technology ...
Through OWI-Lab, Sirris has developed a methodology to assess the economic impact of innovations on offshore wind farms and expanded the models and the capability to include the green hydrogen ...
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 ...
