Exceedence Ltd

We are excited to partner with software developer Exceedence Ltd and NORCE Norwegian Research Centre following a successful bid for a European Space Agency - ESA grant to support a project called FASTWIND (Financial Analysis using Satellite Technology for Offshore Wind Energy). This project aims to use satellite data from ESA’s satellite network to conduct wind resource measurement and energy yield analysis. For more see here https://lnkd.in/eXV3F7FC

University College Cork’s Entrepreneurs in Residence appointed as Adjunct Professors in the College of Business and Law. Their expanded roles as Adjunct Professors within Cork University Business School will broaden the entrepreneurial advice, mentorship and experience available to students and staff of UCC who wish to launch or grow their new ventures. Launched earlier this year in line with the University’s strategic goal of developing an innovative culture and entrepreneurial campus, UCC’s Entrepreneur in Residence (EIR) programme supports the University in promoting and encouraging entrepreneurial activity among UCC staff, students and graduates. UCC has developed and is nurturing an entrepreneurial ecosystem that aims to encourage, create and support 50 new ventures in the next two years. More: https://lnkd.in/egFrR-Xf

🌊☀️📢 Milestone Alert 📢☀️🌊 Oceans of Energy has commenced international roll-out of #OffshoreSolar! We have successfully completed launch of the North Sea Three (#NS3) offshore solar farm in the port of Oostende, #Belgium. This marks a major milestone in which we celebrate our anniversary simultaneously. Oceans of Energy has entered our 9th year of existence, #100% dedicated offshore solar development, a strong and unique track record of 4-years of offshore operations in high waves, 2 technology certifications, 1 commercial contract and operational experience in both #Belgium and in the #Netherlands! Our #Team develops, builds, installs, and operates #OffshoreSolar farm technology and projects fully in-house. Our projects are developed with large emphasis on environmental aspects and exploring nature-enhancing opportunities. It is the Oceans of Energy design philosophy to build scaleable, lightweight solar farms that use the water surface for carrying its own weight, and move with the waves, like a waterlily does. Our technology’s standardization, modularity and simplicity made it possible to execute the port assembly of the #NS3 farm in less than one day. Such highly efficient operations of assembling a complete offshore structure, from factory into the water, is unique and allows us to scale up to 200 MW formats. #OffshoreSolar is very interesting for a country like #Belgium, which is densely populated and which has limited sea space for vast amounts of offshore wind farms. By adding offshore solar in-between sea surface of offshore wind turbines, up to #5x as much renewable energy can be harvested in the same area. We are therefore excited to explore the possibilities of offshore solar as a #Gamechanger for the Belgian Renewable Energy Transition. The #NS3 offshore solar demonstrator is planned to become the first grid connected offshore solar farm in the world at the Blue Accelerator - Maritime Innovation and Development Platform and part of EU-SCORES, supported by CINEA - European Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency. The in-port assembly milestone is a significant step forward towards the goal of EU-SCORES to integrate offshore solar and wave energy into future multi-source parks and we are hugely proud of the EU-SCORES partners.
