We'd like to thank everyone who participated in this process." Company completes major milestone on journey to create first-of-its-kind floating energy project: 'The culmination of a lot of hard work' ...

Wind power is gaining more ground on hydrocarbon assets, with floating turbines mounted on anchored platforms. These operate in waters where conventional fixed-bottom turbines are impractical due to ...

The results, which are based on real-world experience, help to build confidence in scaling up floating offshore wind projects to commercial scale in new markets around the world. Photo of the ...

Shoreline Wind’s simulations can encompass different turbine and foundation technologies, long-term weather trends and the availability of ports and vessels. Looking ahead, Bjerrum sees new technology ...

Mooring protects floating wind turbines from choppy seas, but it will also be the answer to efficient energy generation.

1 GW FLOATING WIND FARM QUANTITIES Turbines: Number: ~67 Note: Nacelle, hub, blades and rotor ~1,500-2,000 tonnes. Land-based cranes needed to lift components, required hook heights of ~180 meters ...

What vessels do we need to build floating offshore wind farms? Projects in planning will need large anchor handlers and subsea vessels to pre-install moorings and array cables and hook-up up the ...

Demonstrator projects show that offshore floating wind is technically proven as a feasible concept. The challenge is how to deliver it for utility-scale projects within the budgets already committed ...

This funding will help advance the development of this new class of vessels and contribute to the growth of the low-carbon offshore wind industry. “This will be a first-in-class low-carbon vessel ...

The U.K. government has awarded funding to a Morek Engineering-led consortium to design a class of low-carbon installation vessel for the floating offshore wind market. The consortium’s funding ...

Subsea Collector is a novel approach to connect multiple wind turbines electrically in a star configuration instead of the traditional daisy chain pattern, enabling more flexibility in offshore wind ...
