🔊 Come and join us at the RENEW 2024 conference!. Technische Universität Braunschweig and NIRAS will present the paper 👉 “Towards the design of artificial surrogates for modelling marine growth” at the RENEW 2024 conference on on 🕘 Wednesday 20th November 2024, session 2.4 – INF4INiTY Project 1 (09:00-10:30 WET). The integration of an artificial reef structure into the substructure of a floating offshore wind turbine is one of the 🐟 nature-inclusive design innovations that the INF4INITY project aims to develop. The methodology for the design of artificial surrogates for the relevant marine growth species will be presented in the on Wednesday 20th in session 2.1. Please, do not hesitate to join us #offshorewind, #naturebasedsolutions

GICON® Group is advancing offshore wind energy with its 5th-generation (15MW) Tension Leg Platform (TLP) as part of the EU’s Horizon Europe INF4INiTY project. This cutting-edge floating wind system is engineered for adaptability and environmental care, incorporating Nature-Inclusive Design and an innovative artificial reef to support marine biodiversity for both floater and gravity anchor. GICON’s modular TLP design adapts to diverse European seabed conditions with tailored anchoring solutions. A preliminary design concept will be presented in the paper 👉 GICON’s 5th generation TLP: A sustainable powerhouse for Europe's seas in the #RENEW 2024 conference on 🕘 Wednesday 20th November 2024, session 2.4 – INF4INiTY Project 1 (09:00-10:30 WET). We hope to see you there!

RENEW 2024, 6th International Conference on Renewable Energies Offshore 19th - 21st November 2024. Lisbon, Portugal. 📣 INF4INiTY will be attending the RENEW 24 Conference & Exhibition in November. As offshore renewable energy is becoming a significant contributor to the total energy mix produced in some countries, this conference aims to bring together industry experts and researchers, to contribute to the exchange of information about developments, and to share experiences from concept development, design and operation of such devices. INF4INiTY will be presented on 📩 Wednesday 20th of November (9:00 – 10:30 & 11:00 – 12:30 WET) in the framework of a special session hosting in total six presentations, covering various topics of the project. The following papers will be presented: - C. Windt et al. Integrated designs for future floating offshore wind farm technology - Towards nature inclusive innovations. - V.K. Vanjakula et al. GICON’s 5th generation TLP: A sustainable powerhouse for Europe’s seas. - M. Sirigu et al. Time domain optimisation of self-stable and on-site installation concepts of TLP. - Gallardo et al. Benchmarking a BEM numerical model for a floating wind platform dynamics in Chilean offshore conditions. - H. Busch et al. Towards the design of artificial surrogates for modelling marine growth. - M. Centeno-Telleria et al. Sensitivity analysis of major replacement rates and costs for floating wind farms.   Stay tuned for updates 🌊 We hope to see you there!

💡 There are many exciting projects that contribute to #offshorewind like FLORES does. Our colleagues from Aquatera Atlántico-atlántico, member organisation of our ORESkills Pact for Skills, have launched an innovative project on floating offshore wind called INF4INITY. They combine the efforts of an EU consortium to develop integrated and nature-inclusive designs for future floating offshore wind farm technology, by implementing nature-based designs for subsea components of floating offshore wind installations. ⬇️ #OREskills #offshore #renewable #energy

On the 27th September, Project Partner Politecnico di Torino participated in the European Researchers' Night 📣. Politecnico Torino shared the approach of the INF4INiTY project to incorporate Nature Inclusive Designs (NID) in floating offshore wind turbines in the largest science outreach event in Europe.

🌍 INF4INiTY partner BM SUMER | Consultancy & Research at #ICCE2024 in Rome! 🌊 We are pleased to share that BM SUMER | Consultancy & Research actively participated in the International Conference on Coastal Engineering (ICCE) in Rome, 7-14 September 2024. During the event, B. Mutlu Sumer chaired a session on #scour (Geotechnics and Scour), a major theme of the INF4INiTY project. Özgür Kirca presented our latest research findings on #Scour Around and Sinking of Subsea Structures Exposed to Current and Waves", co-authored by Roghayeh Ghasempour and B. Mutlu Sumer. Additionally, Utku Yılmaz made a presentation titled "Numerical Modeling of Residual #Liquefaction Around Submarine Pipelines and Offshore Cables”, co-authored by a team from NuLIMAS and  INF4INiTY projects. Both research works form an important part of Work Package 3 (WP3) of the INF4INiTY project. It has been a very fruitful conference with great exchange of ideas! We are looking forward to sharing more results in the upcoming events.

On the 26th August, Project Partner Aquatera Atlántico's Natalia Arure Alvarez Rojas (MSc Eng) participated in the IV International Congress of Biorefineries and Renewable Energies Supported in ICT – Science, Technology, Innovation and Culture Network - BERSTIC 2024. 📣 Her presentation, "Offshore Renewables, Nature-Based Solutions (NBS)", shared the approach of the INF4INiTY project to incorporate Nature Inclusive Designs (NID) in floating offshore wind turbines. Natalia presented on some of the results of the Marine Ecosystems in Colombia Project, and the link these have to local communities - where the NID innovations of the INF4INiTY project are a key output for the future development of offshore renewables.

💡 All about the #INF4INiTY project 🌊 Work Package 1 – Front-End Engineering Designs (FEED) for gravity anchors and their scour protection system. ⚙ In this work package, project partners BM SUMER | Consultancy & Research, IBW PAN, GICON® Group, WIKKI, NIRAS, DTU - Technical University of Denmark, SINTEF , Leibniz Universität Hannover and Technische Universität Braunschweig will join efforts to develop nature inclusive designs (NIDs) for gravity anchors and associated scour protection systems of floating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs). 🐬 Site-specific solutions will be provided for the three case studies of the project: the Scottish Sea, the Baltic Sea and the Adriatic Sea. To cater for specific FEEDs, an in-depth analysis of the relevant information on the ecosystems and habitats will be carried out. This work will set forth a catalogue for NIDs applications for gravity anchors and scour protection of FOWTs. In addition to the main activities of WP1, the project consortium recently completed a scour protection course in Istanbul, Turkey, during the second General Assembly. The course, hosted by BM SUMER and delivered alongside NIRAS, included a series of informative lectures on the fundamentals of scour and the underlying morphodynamic processes.
