Visit the projectThe SETWIND project supports the implementation of the SET-Plan Implementation Plan for Offshore Wind. It will update and work with the Implementation Plan to maintain it as a dynamic reference point for offshore wind energy research and innovation; it will monitor and report on progress towards the Implementation Plan targets of 1,090 million € to be invested in R&I in the offshore sector until 2030; it will strengthen policy coordination in European offshore wind energy R&I policy by supporting the work of the SET-Plan Implementation Group for Offshore Wind; and it will facilitate a breakthrough in the coordination across borders of nationally funded R&I projects.

Visit the projectThe highest critical cost related to O&M in offshore wind turbines is caused by structural failures that mainly occur due to corrosion. The WATEREYE project aims to reduce O&M cost, by developing a solution to monitor corrosion in the structure level that will allow predictive maintenance, with the objective of preventing major failures or even the breakdown. This objective will be reached through monitoring critical points of WT, analysing the data to generate a diagnosis and a prognosis maintenance strategy. WATEREYE addresses the whole study of corrosion and its consequences in the different parts of a WT structure. The project develops a monitoring system capable of remotely estimating the corrosion level in exact critical locations of WT structure as a supporting tool for predictive maintenance. In addition, WATEREYE will develop technologies for data analytics, modelling, and diagnosis for WT as well as WF O&M advanced control strategies. These technologies will contribute to significant OPEX reductions and to improve the efficiency and profitability of offshore energy resources.

Visit the projectThe ambition of the TotalControl project is to develop the next generation of wind power plant (WPP) control tools, improving both WPP control itself and the collaboration between wind turbine (WT) and WPP control. To do this, TotalControl will use high-fidelity simulation and design environments that include detailed time resolved flow field modelling, nonlinear flexible multi-body representations of turbines, and detailed power grid models.

Visit the projectInstalling, operating and maintaining marine wind turbines becomes more difficult and more expensive as water depth increases. The EU-funded FLOTANT project aims to build and demonstrate a scale model of an offshore floating platform to support a wind turbine in deep waters. The newly designed components will include a hybrid concrete-plastic platform, optimised mooring and anchoring systems, high-performance lightweight power cables, and a high-tech monitoring system for operation and maintenance. The project will further assess the technological, economic, environmental and social impact of the floating platform. Ultimately, it will contribute to the advancement of renewable technologies, and is estimated to reduce future capital and operational expenses by more than 50%.
