High-quality monitoring data and control actions altering blade position by roughly 20° could help prevent collisions between birds and wind turbines.

NTNU and SINTEF launched a new Gemini Centre dedicated to offshore wind yesterday, in Trondheim.

Imagine that the wires to your house not only have to withstand high electrical current flow, weather and wind, but also salt water, ocean currents, temperature changes and large movements. This is the big challenge in connecting large, electrical...

The Green Platform project WindRise aims to realize sustainable and cost-effective solutions for the large-scale deployment of offshore wind substructures.

Through the EU project INSECTEC.OCEAN, SINTEF Ocean will assist the Portuguese INESC TEC in establishing a 'Centre of Excellence' for marine research and engineering in Porto, Portugal.

SINTEF Energy Research-led project SKARV kicked off yesterday, aiming at reducing bird collisions with wind turbines while maintaining power production. The project is a spin-off of FME NorthWind and will run from 2024 to 2027.

Japan and Norway have a lot in common despite first appearances. One of the commonalities are long coastlines and deep waters, meaning that offshore wind will, at least in parts, be floating.

The EERA DeepWind 2025 offshore wind research and innovation conference has concluded after three days of insightful discussions, presentations, and networking in Trondheim, Norway.

A cure for global warming: Technologies exist that can get us out of this mess. Let’s take a look at them.

The SINTEF-sponsored EERA DeepWind offshore wind energy R&I conference has just announced that papers related to its most recent edition have been published.

SINTEF Energy Research is pleased to announce that Gard Hopsdal Hansen will be taking over as the new Director of the FME NorthWind Research Centre.

Two new laboratories will test energy systems that will make shipping green, and constructions that are necessary for offshore wind and other energy development offshore.

If Europe is to meet its climate targets, offshore wind has to play a larger role in the energy mix. One thing is to produce all these wind turbines, another is how to attach or moor them. There is currently insufficient production capacity for...

On 30 January 2024, the final GreenShift event was held in Brussels. The GreenShift project aims at fostering innovation and collaboration in the North Sea region.

Norwegian researchers are currently developing wind turbines that can adapt their blade rotation speeds to prevent bird strikes.
