Wind power decreases global carbon dioxide emissions by about 1.1 billion tons annually and is gaining popularity as an energy source. As many countries ramp up their offshore wind production, there is a mounting need for durable underwater batteries.
Drive-drill-drive Technique For Pile Installation
The globalisation of offshore wind means that regions including the US and Asia are seeing a rapid take-off of infrastructure installation, with government goals to deploy a set number of gigawatts (GW) within a given timeframe.
Assembling the world's largest floating offshore wind farm
Floating offshore wind will be key to delivering cost-effective renewable energy to consumers. Equinor is leading the way in developing this technology with Hywind Tampen, the largest floating wind farm to date.
Offshore Wind Farms Could Interfere With Radars
Environmentalists and marine professionals recognize a significant limitation with offshore wind farm expansions. Namely, ships are experiencing more frequent collisions. Wind farms are interfering with vessels' radar systems and creating safety challenges.
Purdue researchers test 3D concrete printing system as part of NSF-funded project
Transitioning to clean wind energy could become more cost-efficient as Purdue University researchers test a new technology created by an international startup to anchor offshore wind turbines.
Wind Catching Systems launches floating offshore wind technology
The technology increases efficiency, cuts acreage use by 80% and reduces production costs, which will enable floating offshore wind to produce electricity at bottom fixed prices.

Floating Wind Farms on an Upward Wave
Now, however, many green energy companies are looking toward a new kind of offshore wind turbine that won't need a concrete foundation. This new technology allows a turbine to float instead of sitting on the ocean floor.
Floating offshore wind turbines: Brazil to become active player in the clean energy race
Researchers from the University of Sao Paulo are focusing on several aspects of modeling and analysis of offshore wind turbines.
Team Develops Floating Turbine To Harvest Deep-Ocean Wind Energy
University of Texas at Dallas researcher Dr. Todd Griffith has spent years working on an offshore turbine design that can convert those deep-ocean winds into electricity. Recently, Griffith received a $3.3 million grant from the U.S. Department of Energy to take his technology to the next level.
ABS Classes World's Biggest Floating Wind Turbine
It is the first of three ABS-classed, SEMI Submersible Type units designed by Principle Power housing MHI Vestas turbines that will make up for a total of 25 MWs of floating offshore wind power.
