S1E22 22. Power to the Future
Reimagining the offshore energy system Offshore wind delivers large volumes of renewable electricity, but the system behind it must be able to cope with mismatches between supply and demand. FlexH2…
S1E21 21. Go With the Flow
All preparations for the first offshore demonstration of the Vibrojet® monopile installation technique are in full swing when we meet Hein van Opstal, Paula van Lieshout and Pierre Bouchet of GBM…
20. The Sound of Silence
Visiting the SIMOX Demonstration SiteGet an update on the SIMOX project. David de Jager visited the specially prepared SIMOX demonstration site at the Port of Amsterdam to meet two key people…
S1E19 19. Under Pressure
Removal of old monopilesAt the end of a wind farm’s lifetime, everything has to be removed. Current practice is to cut the monopiles that support the wind turbines several meters below the seabed. In…
S1E18 18. The Blade Runner and the Blade Crawler
Increasing the reliability of rotor bladesIn the last two decades, the length of the rotor blades for offshore wind turbines has increased significantly. Where we started with blade lengths ranging…
17. The world is your oyster
It's all about a safe tool for repair of rotor blades. Imagine that your wind turbine is installed offshore and provides significant amounts of wind energy. But then, one of the wind turbine's blades…
16. Dare to share
Optimise the usage of space at the North Sea The North Sea seems empty, but nothing could be further from the truth. The sea is divided into parts, and each part has its destination, such as…
15. Get down on it!
Introducing a revolutionary connection design that is set to transform the monopile installation process – and morePresenting a simple yet revolutionary way to install monopiles, endorsed by industry…
14. On the rocks
Rocks barely sound interesting, yet they are essential for the stability of wind turbine foundations. After all, they are used to prevent the erosion of sand around the monopile. Currently, the…
13. Solid as a rock
Extreme conditions… in an extremely short timeframe The Tubular Pile Pull-out Testing (TPPT) project impressively manages to mimic the conditions at sea for open tubular piles used for the mooring of…
S1E12 12. Shaken AND Stirred
One ring to install monopiles faster, cheaper, and more silently. You’d expect the fabrication of equipment for the installation of large monopiles for offshore wind turbines to occur in or near a…
S1E11 11. Rainspotting
Developing the ultimate weather atlas for rain and wind in the North Sea A meeting with Iratxe Gonzalez Aparicio and Harald van der Mijle Meijer at the beach near Bergen aan Zee in the Netherlands on…
S1E10 10. Getting to the bottom of things
Testing with piles in water and sand to understand the soil around monopiles. It sounds like a beautiful beach day: playing around with water and sand in an environment that cannot be taunted by…
S1E9 9. The Next Airbender
More energy through dynamic control over the wind flow inside an offshore wind farm “Wind turbines love a steady, constant, homogenous wind flow pattern. A wind turbine extracts energy from the wind.…
S1E8 8. Let’s execute
Offshore wind and the winning tickets for the coming years “The offshore wind sector is entering a new phase requiring a massive manufacturing and installation scale-up. Building a subsidy-free…
S1E7 7. Install, Load, Repeat - MIDAS
Meet the team who loves spinning around monopiles. The monopile foundations of wind turbines are subject to repeated (cyclic) loading by wind and waves. These forces are transferred from the…
S1E6 6. Power up! - SAWOP
Improving wind measurements to optimise power performance. To gain the most power from the installed wind turbines offshore and onshore, they must operate at their absolute best. That's why the…
S1E5 5. Twist and shake it fast! - GDP
Innovations are needed if the offshore wind sector wants to install the huge foundations for the ever-larger wind turbines, as quickly and with as little noise as possible. Well, “The Gentle Driving…
S1E1 4. Millions of collisions at 300 km/h - Ouch! - WINDCORE
How to prevent damage to rotor blades Rotor blades are made of strong materials that look indestructible, yet they get damaged by water and that costs a lot of money. Harald van der Mijle Meijer…
S1E3 3. It’s like connecting steel tubes with duct tape - WrapNode
How to combine the best features of all materials and put it together in large structures. Offshore wind support structures make a significant part in the total cost of an offshore wind turbine. They…
