News from Europe!   📢 The European Commission has published a guidance document on #investment frameworks for cross-border #offshore grid and #renewable projects to reach the EU’s political ambitions on offshore renewables, as foreseen under the TEN-E Regulation and follow on the EU Action Plan for Grids.   💡The document supports EU countries, national regulatory authorities and system operators in realising #cost-benefit analyses and undertaking discussions on an equitable #cost-sharing and allocation of activities across borders, based on fair principles and sound technical calculations. The parameters offered by the guidance will address the challenges posed by the #regional distribution of benefits and interdependency between #infrastructure projects already at the stage of identifying the network needs.   🔜 As next step, the ENTSO-E will now work on the application of the guidance for the Offshore Network Development Plans to be published  in 1 years’ time, focusing on the 5 priority offshore grid corridors. 👉 Read the full document here: https://lnkd.in/g2y3M9jE   #FloatingOffshoreWind, #RenewableEnergy #MARINEWIND, #OffshoreWind, #collaborativeProjects, #FOWT, #NetZero, #DGENER 👉 https://lnkd.in/dE3Y9Hi7

We are pleased to announce that the SAFEWAVE project has been extended until December 2024. This extension allows us to continue addressing the non-technological barriers that could hinder the future development of ocean energy, a key pillar of the EU Blue Growth strategy. Stay tuned for more developments in this area. 👉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 | Fondation OPEN-C | GEPS Techno | Centro Tecnológico Naval y del Mar - CTN

🌬️ Revolutionising Offshore Wind Energy with WinDTwin! Press Release, 09 July 2024 We are thrilled to announce the launch of WinDTwin, a groundbreaking project funded by the European Union, poised to transform the offshore wind energy sector. With a €6 million grant, this innovative three-year initiative brings together 13 diverse entities from 7 countries to develop a state-of-the-art digital twin (DT) platform for offshore wind farms. As the global demand for renewable energy grows, expanding onshore and offshore wind farms is essential. Strategic micrositing and optimal interconnection of turbines are crucial. However, integrating wind farms into larger clusters and virtual power plants can lead to long-distance negative interactions, affecting efficiency. To tackle these challenges, WinDTwin will develop a digital twin platform. This advanced tool will provide precise power production and energy demand forecasts and serve as a comprehensive resource hub. It will support decision-makers with high-quality models, scenarios, and visualizations, enabling better management of offshore wind energy. 🔹 Key Objectives: · Accurate Forecasting: Improve wind and weather predictions with enhanced models. · Optimal Layout: Design precise spatial models to reduce inefficiencies. · Efficient Turbine Control: Maximise turbine output with advanced control systems. · Sustainable Energy: Explore hybrid and eco-friendly energy solutions. · Precise Yield Prediction: Use simulations for accurate energy forecasts. · Seamless Grid Integration: Ensure efficient connection with power grids. · Demand and Price Insights: Model electricity demand and price trends. · Proactive Maintenance: Monitor and maintain turbines with predictive analytics. · Customised User Experience: Tailor digital twin features to user needs. · Robust Data Systems: Implement efficient data management practices. · Open-Source Innovation: Foster industry collaboration with open-source tools. · Strategic Growth: Plan for the digital twin’s future development and commercial use. “WinDTwin represents a significant leap forward in harnessing offshore wind energy. By integrating advanced digital twin technology, we are setting a new benchmark for precision and efficiency in wind power forecasting and management,” said Oriol Lehmkuhl, Group Leader of Barcelona Supercomputing Center and Coordinator of WinDTwin. 🔗 Join us in this exciting journey and stay tuned for more updates! 👉Read the full communication: https://lnkd.in/dtg6AU5J #WindEnergy #Innovation #DigitalTwin Our Consortium: Barcelona Supercomputing Center | Fraunhofer IEE | WavEC - Offshore Renewables | EPRI in Europe| SOLUTE | University of Kassel | Iberdrola | SINTEF Ocean | @ ATLANTIC | Open Cascade, part of Capgemini  | EDP | Marine Energy Test Centre (METCentre) | Laborelec CINEA - European Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency

🗨️ Partner presentation 🗨️ WavEC - Offshore Renewables (https://www.wavec.org/) is an organization dedicated to unlocking energy transition through the development of engineering solutions and consultancy services to the marine renewable energy sector. Since 2003, WavEC has been supporting marine renewable energy technologies and projects, at distinct stages, from the conceptual design and tank-testing to the licensing, permitting, construction, deployment, and operation stages. WavEC has a leading role in the first work package of the MISSION project – Grid of the future – with Alessandra Imperadore as work package leader. The organization’s involvement in the project is primarily attributed to its extensive experience in offshore renewables. Furthermore, with the expertise of Paula Bastos, WavEC contributes to the life cycle and life cost assessments of the three concepts developed within the project. WavEC is highly committed in advancing with the energy transition, with a particular focus on marine renewable energies. For this the support of grid infrastructure is essential. The MISSION project specifically targets the development of SF6-free switchgears for the grid, considering also an offshore application and aligning with WavEC’s core objectives. #EUprojectMISSION #SF6free #HorizonEurope #CofundedbytheEU

WavEC is excited to be part of the innovative HiPoTeSis initiative through our CEO (Companhia de Energia Oceânica) demonstration test site. Stay tuned for more updates!

Today WavEC is attending the EU-SCORES project Policy Summit in Brussels. Technology developers, research intitutes and policy officers, among other stakeholders, are discussing the combination of offshore wind with wave and offshore solar energy in multi-source renewable energy parks.

🌊 MARINEWIND Project's 18-Month Review Meeting in Brussels Today, June 28, 2024, we are pleased to share that the MARINEWIND project (Market Uptake Measures of Floating Offshore Wind Technology Systems) held its first Review Meeting in Brussels. Over the past 18 months, the partners have been consistently advancing efforts in the floating offshore wind technology systems. These activities will soon be documented in a series of reports, which will be accessible on our project website: https://lnkd.in/dE3Y9Hi7. We counted with the presence of Marina Montero Carrero, Project Officer from CINEA - European Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency, and Enrico Degiorgis, Policy Officer for Wind Energy and Hydrogen from the European Commission - DG Research and Innovation - Clean Energy Transition and were hosted by our partner Europêche at their Brussels premises, providing an excellent venue for insightful discussions and strategic planning. Stay tuned for more updates and detailed reports on our website. #FloatingOffshoreWind, #MARINEWIND, #OffshoreWind, #FOWT, #NetZero, #CINEA   APRE - Agenzia per la Promozione della Ricerca Europea (coordinator) | University of York (scientific coordinator) | Europêche  | Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche | Energy Systems Catapult | Q-PLAN INTERNATIONAL | Ricerca sul Sistema Energetico - RSE SpA | Sener | WavEC - Offshore Renewables
