Modular Multi-level Converters 🔬 In an era when technological advancements are reshaping industries, understanding emerging concepts and breakthrough innovations are crucial. In the FlexH2 project, we care about sharing the knowledge we have gained, so we came up with the concept of ReFlexions. 🌱 In our ReFlexions, we give a short explanation of a technology or topic we are working on. Our objective is not to go into technical details but rather to provide a basis for understanding the technology developed and to provide sufficient context of its relevance in the energy transition. ⚡The fourth ReFlexion is on Modular Multi-level Converters and was written by Carl Barker, Consulting Engineer at GE Vernova. Thanks, Carl, for your contribution! We invite all professionals, researchers, and enthusiasts interested in cutting-edge technology and its transformative potential to read our published ReFlexions. https://lnkd.in/edkac-AK

The Deltares team involved in the JIP Hydraulic Pile Extraction – Scaled Tests 1.2 (HyPE-ST 1.2) visited the Testzentrums Tragstrukturen Hannover (TTH) to check the piles that will be tested in TTH’s 10-metre-deep testing pit. After the successful ‘proof-of concept’ hydraulic extraction tests with smaller piles at the Deltares facilities, it is time to scale up! The piles of 1.5 m in diameter and total lengths ranging from 7.5 m to 9.5 m will be installed in dense sand and extracted using hydraulic pressure. Instrumentation with pore pressure and total pressure sensors, as well as fibre optics, will provide insights on, e.g. friction development between pile and soil and pile strains under high hydraulic pressures. Special thanks to the project partners: Deltares, Delft Offshore Turbine (DOT), IQIP®, Jan De Nul Group, KCI the engineers, RWE, Sif Group, TKI Offshore Energy and TNO Offshore Wind Energy. And to Ton Peters and Anderson Peccin da Silva. Hydraulic pile extraction is a #circular and #sustainable innovation for #decommissioning of #monopiles. Want to know more?

The FlexH2 consortium has been invited to present at the Offshore Day conference. Dr. Iratxe González-Aparicio of TNO and Lucia Beloqui Larumbe representing the FlexH2 consortium, both work package leaders in the FlexH2 project, will share their expertise, knowledge and experience on hybrid solutions offshore, focusing on the tandem of offshore wind and onshore hydrogen. Join them and others at the Offshore Day on the 4th of June in Rotterdam! https://lnkd.in/gGfiWDXr #FlexH2 #innovation #hydrogen #offshorewind

Voor de wind! @Jeroen Regelink, Manager Development Engineering bij @Seaway7: "We zijn ons bewust van de geluidsimpact op het zeeleven als gevolg van heiwerkzaamheden. Daarom zet de industrie zich in om innovatieve monopile installatietechnieken te ontwikkelen die het geluidsniveau verlagen. Om meer kennis te vergaren en voordat we deze technieken offshore implementeren, zijn we eerst van plan om later dit jaar uitgebreide onshore testen uit te voeren. Meer weten? Verdiep je in GROW project SIMOX en sluit je aan bij onze missie om het leven in zee te beschermen." https://lnkd.in/euxXTWRR #voordewind #innovatie #grow

Energizing horizons! Pieter Verhoeven of bp: “Join us in celebrating the remarkable achievements and ongoing innovations in the Dutch offshore wind sector! At bp, we’re committed to reimagining energy for people and our planet. As we transition towards becoming an integrated energy company, innovation remains at the core of our mission. This insightful initiative from GROW underscores the pivotal role of innovation in shaping the future of offshore wind. Let’s continue collaborating and innovating towards a sustainable and prosperous future.” Curious about the importance of such innovations for offshore wind?" https://lnkd.in/gZS3WqRj #voordewind #innovatie #grow

Energizing horizons! Jan Willem Wagenaar, Program Manager Wind Energy TNO: “Bigger wind turbines, with bigger rotor blades, need to endure bigger forces. Do you want to know how to improve the reliability of wind turbine blades by monitoring their structural health throughout their lifespan?Explore the GROW project Reliablade2-NL. https://lnkd.in/eH4HWzDb #voordewind #innovatie #grow

Predicting the remaining lifetime of wind turbine blades? Our new project ReliaBlade2-NL, will adapt existing #digitaltwin concepts to monitor the condition of blades during their lifetime. This can then help with the timely maintenance of wind turbine blades. Project partners: TNO, TU Delft | Aerospace Engineering, Shell, Suzlon Group, Fibersail, Tarucca. Want to know more?
