The next wave of floating wind – Counter-rotating turbines
Amidst the surge of innovation in renewable energy, a Norwegian startup, World Wide Wind (WWW), is making waves with a groundbreaking floating wind turbine design. With the recent approval to test its prototype off the southwest coast of Norway, this Oslo-based pioneer could be steering the world towards a future where the energy of our oceans is harnessed with unparalleled efficiency.
Gales and gills – The world’s first renewable energy and aquaculture project
Shanghai Electric Wind Power Group has proudly announced the completion of a pioneering offshore renewable energy project, combining floating wind power with deep-sea aquaculture. This landmark project, situated in the National Marine Ranching Demonstration Zone, is located off Nanri Island in the coastal waters of Putian, Fujian Province, China.
To efficiency and beyond – How NASA could revolutionize offshore wind
Originally developed to absorb vibration in rockets, NASA’s Fluid Structure Coupling technology could provide added stability to floating wind turbines in the future. This would lead to more efficient power generation and cost savings – potentially putting the offshore industry at a competitive advantage.
