This could be interesting. The cooperation in this project showed, that different views on simulation uncertainty exist. That of scientists and modellers who want to know which parts of their models and its input data can be improved. And that of consultants who have to follow guidelines like TR6 and MEASNET and have to put a certain number in their reports. It is not trivial to quantify uncertainty even if you have lots (thanks to the industry partners in the project) of measurement data for cross-validation at hand. IWES also adopted a fancy method called Polynomial Chaos to investigate uncertainty of FIWind(OpenFOAM) and we used it with our CFD-Model FITNAH-3D. If you interested, send an email to IWES.

CFD uncertainties workshop!

A research project explored the full-scale floating installation of an offshore wind turbine tower, utilizing Xsens MTi motion tracking technology to capture essential data. Researchers developed custom motion tracking units (in the image), featuring the Xsens MTi-7 GNSS/INS sensor, to measure wave motion, tower vibrations, and the impact of various environmental factors. This analysis provides valuable insights into the complexities and potential of floating offshore wind energy, paving the way for safer, more efficient installations in the future.

The EERA DeepWind Conference has been a remarkable experience! 👏🏻 This event provided us with incredible insights and helped us to make great connections with other industry experts. Irati Larrinaga Calderon and Oriol de Quintana Bosch represented our team in the presentation of a poster dedicated to validating time-history data through in-situ measurements on a floating offshore wind turbine. The findings, derived from a more realistic offshore operational scenario further off the coast, demonstrate the potential for optimizing wind farm performance and energy generation. A crucial aspect for achieving an accurate Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE) model for floating wind. #floatingwind | #offshorewind | #renewableenergy | #energy | SINTEF | Norges teknisk-naturvitenskapelige universitet (NTNU) | EERA - The European Energy Research Alliance

As part of our first EUDP - Det Energiteknologiske Udviklings- og Demonstrationsprogram backed project in 2021 and 2022, we carried out a detailed study with Siemens Gamesa which clearly concluded that wave energy has the potential to become competitive to offshore wind in the mid-term. It is therefore very positive to see that our results have now been validated also by Delft University of Technology and LUT University, in a european sponsored study EU-SCORES.

A recent study by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) suggests that by 2030, the United States will need infrastructure to support approximately 33 million EVs. Improving reliable, equitable, and widespread access to electric vehicle charging infrastructure in all communities will be critical to ensuring the continued success of the EV revolution. To meet this demand, NREL and Duluth Minnesota have joined forces to create a plan for expanding EV infrastructure, particularly in areas where residents may face economic challenges.

☀ 🚀Exciting progress in solar energy research! The German Aerospace Center (DLR) and MAN Energy Solutions have achieved a significant milestone with the solar tubular receiver for molten salt at the Multifocus Tower in Jülich. For the first time, a salt temperature exceeding 600°C has been reached, surpassing the current industry standard of 565°C. This breakthrough not only enhances the efficiency of solar thermal power plants but also opens new possibilities for cost reduction in the sector. The ongoing tests at the Jülich facility validate the technology under realistic conditions, laying the groundwork for its commercial application. By increasing the operating temperature of the salt circuit, steam can be heated to higher levels, improving the efficiency of power generation. This development marks an important step forward in the transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy. 💥 👉For further information please visit our website: https://lnkd.in/ekKK5i6h #SolarEnergy #SolarResearch #CSP #ConcentratingSolar #EnergyResearch
