Researchers at the Norwegian institute Sintef are testing a special floating structure that Equinor wants to deploy in offshore waters. The structure is built with an anchoring system that is claimed ...

The floating offshore wind industry, currently at its beginnings, is set for massive growth in the years to come, which has now led the classification society DNV GL to released the first integrated ...

Kongsberg Maritime has unveiled a range of innovative methods designed to transform and industrialize the transportation and installation (T&I) of floating offshore wind turbines.The new solutions ...

The federal government agreed this week to lease a 15.2-square-mile site to Maine, to develop the nation’s first floating offshore wind research site in federal waters. The offer comes on the heels of ...

SolarDuck, an offshore solar developer in the Netherlands, has been chosen to build a 5 MW floating PV project with energy storage. It aims to start operations in 2026. SolarDuck has been selected as ...

Northern California has some of the strongest offshore winds in the U.S., with immense potential to produce clean energy. But it also has a problem. Its continental shelf drops off quickly, making ...

The University of Maine is contributing to the global effort to improve floating machines to harness wind over deeper offshore waters. Researchers envision turbine platforms floating in the ocean ...

Wind farms are not all created equal. During the previous 12 months ending February 2018, the average capacity factor for U.S. wind turbines—virtually all of which were located on land—was 36.9%.

DOE even claims it will somehow reduce the cost of floating deepwater wind energy to $45 per megawatt-hour by 2035. (That’s 45¢ per kilowatt-hour, triple what most Americans now pay.) To buttress its ...

Floating wind farms offer a solution to harness stronger winds in deeper waters where traditional fixed turbines are not feasible. This technology presents environmental advantages, including less ...
