Offshore Low-trophic Aquaculture in Multi-Use scenario Realisation

ImproveFLOW's goal is to facilitate more cost-effective design of floating wind units and farms by developing methods and tools for coupled analysis of  wind, wave, current and mooring forces on wind turbines and floaters, as well calculation of...

Norway has been a world-leader on maritime technology for a long time, but the world is changing fast and major challenges threaten its position.

Nexans Norway, together with research partners, aim to develop the next generation lead-free power cables. In the FutureCaRe project, we will perform testing and develop modelling tools to secure high reliability and long lifetime of lead-free “wet...

The exposure of slender marine structures, e.g., deep-water risers and power cables to floating wind turbines, to waves and currents causes excitation forces and leads to fast accumulation of fatigue damage and amplified drag loads. In many cases...

FME NorthWind (Norwegian Research Centre on Wind Energy) will bring forward outstanding research and innovation to create jobs and grow exports, and to facilitate the sustainable development of wind power.

This project considers the energy system of offshore oil and gas installations with the aim to contribute to reduced greenhouse gas emissions by using variable wind power together with flexibility in energy usage and energy storage.

The main goal of the eNeuron project is to develop innovative tools for the optimal design and operation of local energy communities (LECs) integrating distributed energy resources and multiple energy carriers at different scales.

The InterQ European project aims to provide a full control of the quality of industrial manufacturing processes and equipment, moving towards zero defect manufacturing, which is a key challenge in strategic economic sectors, such as aeronautics...

The ambitious goal is to increase the profitability of offshore wind farms by more than 2%.

This project aims to conduct a mooring optimization study for a floating wind turbine comprising the Tri-Floater from NOV GustoMSC with the 15 MW NREL Reference Turbine.

The CleanExport project will provide strategic guidance and investment support for exploiting Norway's potential for clean energy export.

SFI BLUES is a research-based innovation centre enabling Norwegian industry to create new types of floating structures which satisfy the needs and requirements from renewable energy, aquaculture and coastal infrastructure.

The SUPEERA project supports the implementation of the SET-Plan.

Gear systems are critical in maritime vessels and wind turbines, and damage of components in these systems may lead to catastrophic and costly failure. Today, gears and bearings are often monitored by frequent inspections and manual condition...

The FarmConners project supports the implementation and industrialisation of Wind Farm Control (WFC) as an additional feature for the development and operation of wind power plants. It brings together actors in all relevant fields connected with the...

The Watereye project will design an advanced monitoring system that will make it possible to remotely detect corrosion levels

Advanced methodology and tools taking advantage of storage and FLEXibility in transmission and distribution grid PLANning.
