Moog Inc. (NYSE: MOG.A and MOG.B), a designer and manufacturer of high-performance motion control solutions, has helped create a testing facility for researchers at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) Large Scale Facility, part of the Department of Wind Energy and the Villum Center for Advanced Structural and Material Testing (CASMaT).
Ensuring that companies operating across the energy production arena have fast, flexible and cost-efficient access to tooling and equipment for infrastructure assembly and maintenance projects is the objective of an extended agreement between Atlas Copco and its bolting distributor, Torque Solutions.
The Carbon Trust’s Offshore Wind Accelerator (OWA) has today published guidance for the geophysical surveying for unexploded ordnance (UXO) and boulders, supporting subsea cable installation by improving the efficiency and effectiveness of surveys.
TECOSIM, a leading engineering company, has announced it is on track with its three-year project to discover new, scalable materials to use in the construction of wind turbine rotor blades. The CAE specialist has teamed up with Leibniz University in Hannover to carry out its research.
It has recently been reported that by developing wind turbines on offshore sites, we could provide more than enough clean energy to meet global electricity demand . However, with our energy usage rising exponentially, is there more we can do to maximise the power of offshore windfarms?
International energy consultancy Xodus Group has expanded its renewables capabilities with the addition of a new wind analysis team.
Wessex Archaeology Ventures has announced the launch of Trident Archäologie, a European subsidiary headquartered in Rostock, Germany. The company will provide marine archaeological services to developers working in the Baltic Sea and North Sea, with a particular focus on delivering expert, data-driven advice to the offshore renewables market.
A world leading tidal energy company Nova Innovation has landed its largest project, which is set to deliver enough energy to power 600 homes.
Artemis Technologies has announced a joint venture with Denmark’s Tuco Marine Group to produce the world’s first zero emissions workboat.
PSM Instrumentation has announced it is part of an innovative floating wind platform project which allows the exploitation of wind potential at sea in depths of more than 40 metres. The innovation focus of the project is the conception of a floating foundation, based on the experiences from the oil and gas industry, which will support wind turbines in offshore applications.
Nanotechnology specialist NextGen Nano has released an infographic tracking the development and history of solar power, to explain the technology’s future. Since its inception, large surface areas have been required to provide any meaningful power generation from solar, but newer technologies like NextGen’s organic solar cells are set to change this.
