🌊MARENDATA: The Comprehensive Marine Renewable Energy Data Platform Gets an Upgrade The European funded SAFEWAVE project - Streamlining the Assessment of environmental effects of Wave Energy - has updated the MARENDATA, a data platform designed to provide instant access to marine renewable energy industry-specific information related to resource and impact assessment. MARENDATA integrates data sets from various sites, providing scientifically robust data on the potential environmental effects of marine energy devices to support consenting and licensing processes. The platform is suitable for both technical and non-technical audiences, making it easy for stakeholders to access detailed information on a particular marine energy project or test site, as well as view data on one or multiple environmental parameters at different test centers. 👉 https://lnkd.in/dww4wZP #marineenergy #renewableenergies #waveenergy CINEA - European Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency, AZTI, WavEC - Offshore Renewables, BiMEP, HIDROMOD, LDA, University College Cork, RTSYS - Underwater Acoustics & Drones, CorPower Ocean, GEPS Techno

To coincide with the #RUKGOW24 conference in Manchester this week, #Ørsted have launched their brand-new innovation report, outlining cutting-edge technology and projects. This report is an amalgamation of cross-industry collaboration, which draws upon the knowledge of diverse perspectives to develop innovative solutions. Part 1: Offshore Excellence – Focuses on innovation projects that lower costs and enhance performance across the full lifecycle of an offshore wind farm. Here are my 5 key takeaway’s:   ⌛ Cone Penetration Testing (CPT) in Silty Soils   Ørsted recently concluded a three-year joint industry project to develop a robust set of guidelines for CPT in silty and transitional soils, which will reduce the risks and conservatism of facility designs and installations. CPT is crucial to assess the properties of soil to inform the design of wind turbine foundations and other offshore facilities.   🦅 Spoor: Using AI to understand bird behaviour around wind farms Ørsted have invested in Norwegian start-up Spoor, which uses #AI to identify and track birds in and around wind farms. To date, Spoor’s technology has monitored over 65,000 hours of footage, and tracked over 625,000 birds. This can help refine wind farm project design, to minimise any risk of collision with birdlife.   🚤 Ørsted’s uncrewed surface vessel Ørsted have designed, built and patented the industry’s first Unmanned Metocean Survey Vessel, which uses lidar to accurately predict offshore wind generation at prospective sites. It can be deployed faster, safer, and with better accessibility – all while gathering more data at up to 40 % less cost than conventional Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) buoys.   🌊 UnNo-X: Studying underwater noise data UnNo-X is an operational noise study that will mitigate risks and concerns about underwater noise when ensuring permits for future offshore wind farms. The study set out to compare simulated noise levels (normally used to project expected noise levels), to actual recorded noise, generated by operating wind farms in Germany. It found that actual noise levels from 8 MW+ turbines were far lower than predicted by the models.   ⚖ Saving time and money offshore with heavy-lift drones Ørsted are the first offshore wind company in the world to introduce heavy-lift drones to lift cargo and tools from a vessel to the top of an offshore wind turbine. Drones make cargo transfer much faster and safer, minimising turbine downtime and time spent offshore, as well as reducing the environmental impact. In October 2023, Ørsted began trialling autonomous drones with a capacity of 68 kg at Hornsea 1 Offshore Wind Farm in the UK.   Read the full report here: https://lnkd.in/em_457Mt https://lnkd.in/ekfSaMJ4 #Innovation #Collaboration #JointIndustry #OffshoreWind #EIA #Sustainability #CarbonReduction #NetZero #RenewableEnergy #GreenEnergy #EnergyTransition
