DNV GL announced its latest Joint Industry Project, aiming to optimize the performance of wind farms by reducing the downtime and lower the costs of energy during the operational project life span of 25 years or more.

DONG Energy announced plans to offer frequency response from its existing Burbo Bank Offshore Wind Farm, using a combination of wind power and battery. The addition of the 2MW battery system is expected to enhance the capability of the wind farm. It will be the first time an offshore wind farm is integrated with a battery system to deliver frequency response to the grid.

Huisman announced that developed a lightweight type crane for the maintenance of offshore wind turbines, which combines lifting heights and capacity with a foldable boom, resulting in less deck space and a low own weight of the crane, so it will require a smaller, and thus more cost effective, jack-up vessel than currently required.

Eco Marine Power announced that, along with its strategic partners, will jointly offer products and solutions for offshore applications, including offshore wind platforms, oil rigs and jack-up systems. These products and solutions will incorporate marine solar power, batteries, integrated monitoring systems and engineering and design services.

Antonio Jarquin Laguna, a researcher in Delft University of Technology, issued a thesis report, exploring a new way of generation, collection and transmission of wind energy inside a wind farm, in which the electrical conversion does not occur during any intermediate conversion step before the energy has reached the offshore central platform.

The European Commission has approved Danish support for the Kriegers Flak offshore wind farm to be constructed in Danish territorial waters. This will help Denmark to reduce CO2 emissions, in line with EU energy and climate goals, without unduly distorting competition.

U.S. Department of the Interior and Bureau of Ocean Energy Management announced the completion of US’s seventh competitive lease sale for renewable wind energy in federal waters. The lease area has a potential generating capacity of 1,486 MW, enough energy to power more than 500,000 homes.

​DONG Energy announced that decided to retire “Vindeby”, the world’s first offshore wind farm, which was constructed 25 years ago, close to shore in the low waters off Vindeby, near Lolland, in the south east of Denmark.
