German driveline and chassis technology developer ZF Friedrichshafen AG is venturing further into wind energy industry after receiving final clearance from antitrust authorities to acquire industrial gears and wind turbine gearbox segment from Bosch Rexroth. ZF officially took over the segment from
Shoreline has signed a contract for simulation studies of O&M marine logistic strategies at Triton Knoll Offshore Wind Farm. The main scope of work includes the build-up of virtual wind farm layouts, and subsequent simulation and analysis at the Triton Knoll Offshore Wind Farm considering various ma
Erasmus University Rotterdam and Royal Haskoning DHV have studied the optimal bidding strategy in Dutch offshore wind auctions. Bidders might bid too high and lose the auction, or bid too low and don’t get the expected return they planned. One can minimize these risks by basing their offer on knowle
