Leading international classification society Bureau Veritas says an innovative decision support system for the structural maintenance of Floating Offshore Wind Turbines (FOWTs) is close to being finalised. The initiative could result in significant cost and energy saving for all types of renewable m
A sensing instrument which can measure ocean parameters such as sea surface roughness has been developed by experts at Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd. (SSTL). In its more familiar usage, GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System – also known as GPS) pinpoints the geographic location of a user’s rece
In a research project called “Intelligent Foundation Structure for Offshore Wind Turbines”, Professor Christine Döbert from the Technical University of Mittelhessen wants to develop cost effective and environmentally friendly alternatives to conventional techniques of building offshore wind foundati

The German federal government expects that the transmission companies would have to pay a compensation of around one billion euros, if offshore wind farms fail to be connected to the grid on time. Germany is facing massive grid connection delays. Last year, TenneT announced a 12- month delay in conn
A recent study by Robert Gordon University (RGU) has shown that Scotland leads the way in renewables deployment across the UK. Furthermore, Scotland has set a target to cut carbon emissions from electricity generation by more than four-fifths by 2030, underlining the huge market for offshore wind be
British private non-profit organization, the National Trust, stated that it will fight against 25 wind power projects to preserve the unspoiled landscape around rural areas and protect properties under threat, UPI.com news site reports. As the county is speeding up with its onshore and offshore wind
A deal between Cape Wind and Middleboro-based Mass Tank is dead, reports the Associated Press. In 2010, Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick announced that the Mass Tank would build foundations and other steel components for the Nantucket Sound wind farm comprising of 130 wind turbines.
