The objective of NOWITECH was pre-competitive research laying a foundation for industrial value creation and cost-effective offshore wind farms. Emphasis was on “deep-sea” (+30 m) including bottom-fixed and floating wind turbines.
Nowitech Final report:
NOWITECH was an international research cooperation on offshore wind technology.
The vision
- Contributing to large scale deployment of deep sea offshore wind turbines
- An internationally leading research community on offshore wind technology enabling industry partners to be in the forefront.
Objective
- Precompetitive research laying a foundation for industrial value creation and cost-effective offshore wind farms. Emphasis is on "deep-sea" (+30 m) including bottom-fixed and floating wind turbines.
Key issues
- Innovations, knowledge building and education aiming to reduce the cost of energy from offshore wind farms.
FME NOWITECH was partly financed by the Research Council of Norway, industrypartners and research partners SINTEF, NTNU and IFE.
