A new method for determining the suitability of offshore wind turbine sites has been developed by researchers at the University of the Basque Country. The method uses wind and wave data to predict the mechanical fatigue that turbines will experience. This information can help investors make informed decisions about where to build wind farms.

QUADRISPAR - Floating offshore wind turbines make it possible to capture offshore wind power beyond water depth of 50m, i.e. almost anywhere wind is strong. Unfortunately, all #FOWT I’ve seen to date are complex and costly – unlike fixed offshore wind turbines which have matured into simple and low-cost designs. The holy grail is now a floating foundation that will be cheap to build and simple to install by the hundreds, or thousands. This article proposes a Tension Leg Platform made of 4 large tubes.

🌬️ 🌊 The further offshore, the stronger the winds. In fact, offshore wind turbines have the capacity to reap more than DOUBLE the energy in comparison to wind turbines closer to shore. Berkeley Lab scientists are studying how to make offshore wind turbines more cost-effective using fiber optic cable sensing, which can give offshore wind turbines a "nervous system" that allows the system to self monitor in real time for potential problems. This prolongs the turbine's lifespan and lowers operation and maintenance costs, ultimately helping scientists more affordably develop these systems that can aid us in our transition to #RenewableEnergy.

[BLOG]: WAKES AND BLOCKAGE IN WIND FARMS, by Elies Campmany 🌬️ In our latest blog, Elies delves into the crucial aspects of #Wakes and #Blockage effects on #WindFarm energy production. The wake effect occurs when wind turbines create a region of slower wind speeds and increased turbulence downstream, affecting the efficiency and lifespan of downstream turbines. Proper turbine spacing and layout are essential to minimizing these impacts. A turbine's disruption of airflow, known as the blockage effect, results in decreased wind speed and increased pressure upstream. Therefore, understanding and mitigating this effect is vital for optimizing wind farm performance. We also discuss the #Fitch Scheme, a parameterization within the #WRF model that helps represent the sub-grid effects of wind turbines on wind and TKE fields. This tool aids in understanding wakes and blockage effects, particularly at offshore sites with less horizontal variability. 👉 Full article: https://hubs.ly/Q02FzqPQ0 Stay tuned for more insights! #VortexFdC #RenewableEnergy #WindResource #WindEnergy #WindData

Early offshore wind farms have been constructed using foundations that are driven into the sea floor. The next step is to build floating offshore wind turbines. This will open up a tremendous amount of area to harvest wind energy. Floating wind farms have an enormous potential for renewable energy production!
Researchers hone floating offshore wind turbines for launch. Researchers are racing to create large wind turbines and floating platforms, bringing energy from offshore wind closer to reality.
