Earlier this year, the Fraunhofer Institute for Wind Energy and Energy System Technology (IWES) released the first wind index for offshore wind farms. The Fraunhofer IWES Offshore Wind Energy Index (FROENIX) helps with estimating the inter-annual power density variation at offshore wind farm sites.
Offshore wind has been keeping organisations such as MARIN – working on testing and validation of new technology – busy for quite a while now, and the trend remains as the innovative industry is continuously on a quest to progress in almost every aspect.

The manager of the seabed in Scotland, Crown Estate Scotland, has made offshore spatial data relating to the organization’s offshore assets freely available for the first time.
A new European project named Kraken has started. The project received €350.000 through financing of OCEANERANET (Ocean Energy European Research Area Network) and gathers four partners of three different countries: WavEC Offshore Renewables and Instituto Super Técnico (Portugal), SIANI (Canary Island
French tidal energy developer Sabella has engaged the services of Olympic Shipping’s multi-purpose vessel Olympic Taurus for the installation of new cable part related to the Ushant island tidal energy project.
The Royal Navy has unveiled a number of futuristic submarine concepts, looking forward to well beyond 2050 to mark the 100th anniversary of the launch of the USS Nautilus, the world’s first nuclear powered submarine. The Royal Navy’s submarine service, often known as the ‘silent service,’ challenged
Tidal Energy Today has compiled the top news from tidal and wave energy industry from August 21 – 27, 2017.
While floating wind developers usually look for low wave energy sites, Floating Power Plant’s device is meant to generate wind power in areas with medium to high wave energy, as the company’s hybrid technology aims to harness energy from both sources.
A new study has found that the presence of SeaGen tidal turbine in Strangford Lough in Northern Ireland did not prevent harbor seals from passing through the channel, detecting some small effects in their movement associated with the device.
The offshore wind turbines that DONG Energy has challenged the industry to deliver by 2024 could hit the market in the next 5 years, according to Tony Quinn, Operations/ Testing & Validation Director at Offshore Renewable Energy (ORE) Catapult, for which Quinn said is ideally positioned to test the
