The #AE2 team was on the ground this week for New Jersey Institute of Technology's inaugural New Jersey Offshore Wind Conference in Newark where our Senior Interconnection Engineer, Mahdiyeh Khodaparastan proudly announced our proposed $2 million partnership with NJIT to recruit diverse Graduate and Phd-level students into #offshorewind careers. Mahdi also highlighted her personal experiences as an engineer and underscored the importance of this partnership in strengthening NJ's offshore wind workforce. This investment will support the university's recruitment efforts within overburdened communities and provide tuition assistance, stipends, and ongoing professional development opportunities to students within the College of Engineering, the College of Science and Liberal Arts, and the Ying Wu College of Computing.

ESI was represented yesterday on the National Offshore Wind Research and Development Consortium Advisory Group’s Quarterly call. The NOWRDC's RDAG is a mix of academia and industry that meets to advise on upcoming solicitations, advance related scientific research, and address pressing issues facing the offshore wind industry. This particular call focused on floating wind solicitations, transmission technologies and design, and the use of autonomous monitoring tech. Despite some recent setbacks in the sector, most of the proposed domestic projects will still be built albeit in some cases after rebidding which will cause longer timelines. ESI looks forward to further supporting this growing sector through our work in air quality, environmental justice, public engagement, and environmental impacts analysis. #offshorewind #researchinnovation ___________ ESI provides comprehensive professional consultation and field services to identify, prevent, and resolve environmental issues. With innovative technical skills and a clear understanding of our clients' goals, we effectively reduce or eliminate environmental impacts.

Wave energy converter (WEC) technologies are in the pre-commercial phase. The only Brazilian full-scale WEC was designed by the GERO UFRJ of the COPPE / UFRJ and installed in the Complexo do Pecém in 2012. More full-scale WEC deployments, improving control systems, robust solutions for the survival conditions at sea, and the development of tools for modeling and analysis of WECs can accelerate the commercialization process of such systems. I developed my own in-house code in Fortran to study the application of latching control on a WEC during my Ph.D. thesis (available: https://lnkd.in/d5XHnMZS). Different codes capable of analyzing the WECs are being developed around the world; however, analyzing your own WEC concept with specific characteristics and control systems is still required the development of an in-house code. WEC-Sim is a tool for WEC analysis in MATLAB/Simulink that is being developed by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) and intends to present a solution for the analysis of a wide range of WECs with specific power take-off (PTO) and control systems. Yesterday, I had an opportunity to interact with Nathan Tom from NREL and Daniel Gaebele from Sandia National Laboratories during the WEC Design Practices and Tools course of the 42nd International Conference on Ocean, Offshore & Arctic Engineering in Melbourne, Australia. Thanks for the fruitful conversions and interesting presentation! #renewableenergy #waveenergy #sustainability #ufrj #offshore

We are thrilled 🌟 to introduce FRONTIErS - Doctoral Network project "EXPLORE", which aims to revolutionize and explore the impact of statistical variability on design parameters required for accurate estimation of the operating behaviour of pile and caisson foundations deployed to support offshore turbines. This project takes place at NGI - Norwegian Geotechnical Institute. The project will use site data to investigate the relationship between spatial variability in the surrounding soil volume of a foundation and the derivation of a shear strength profile from CPT measurement, stiffness response, rate effect, and soil damping. The project will undertake parametric studies for both foundation types in the centrifuge at the Technical University of Delft. The researcher involved with this project will also have an opportunity to finish their secondment with Equinor and TU Delft. In today's rapidly evolving energy landscape, offshore wind farms play a vital role in sustainable power generation. However, accurately predicting the performance and behaviour of these foundations is crucial for ensuring their long-term reliability and optimal design. That's where "Explore" comes into play. #UKRI #mscactions #msca #OffshoreWindEnergy #RenewableEnergy #GeotechnicalEngineering

Are you searching for a reliable statistical model to aid in the design of offshore wind turbines and marine structures? 🌬 Last week, Erik Vanem, Researcher at DNV, presented significant findings from the HIPERWIND project at #OMAE2023, the 42nd International Conference on Ocean, Offshore & Arctic Engineering in Melbourne, Australia. The reliable statistical description of environmental conditions, particularly wind-wave conditions, plays a crucial role in designing #offshore #windturbines and marine structures. To address this challenge, HIPERWIND researchers have developed a joint statistical model based on high-quality data. This statistical description serves as valuable input for subsequent structural reliability assessment and response calculations. Check out the presentation below to delve into details, including: 💡 Joint distribution model 💡 Marginal distribution of wind speed and conditional model for turbulence 💡 Conditional models for wave parameters 💡 Conditional distributions of directions ... and many more! Stay tuned for the upcoming publication of the paper titled "A joint probability distribution model for multivariate wind and wave conditions" in the proceedings after the conference. The paper's authors include Erik Vanem (DNV), Elias Fekhari (EDF), Nikolay Dimitrov (DTU Wind and Energy Systems), Mark Kelly (DTU Wind and Energy Systems), Alexis Cousin (IFP Energies nouvelles), and Martin Guiton (IFPEN).

Senior Researcher and Advisor at Deltares | Scour & Scour Protection | Offshore Wind | Hydraulic Infrastructure
Happy to share our recent #publication in Ocean Engineering: https://lnkd.in/eRTqDsGC. Co-authors: Pim van Steijn Minghao Wu Thijs Robijns This paper deals with loose rock scour protection deformation and how to predict it. We propose a method that explicitly calculates scour protection deformation depth as a performance metric. Calculating deformation allows for a more continuous approach to evaluate scour protection performance in comparison with classifying performance in (discrete) stability classes. This could allow for more optimized #scour protection design around #offshore wind turbine foundations. The proposed method was developed during the JIP HaSPro project. The present paper presents more on the scientific background behind the deformation model, whereas the handbook itself (https://lnkd.in/dAMKsKZu) contains more guidance on how to apply this in practical design. The underlying data is available at: https://lnkd.in/dJYDSjpu. Feel free to reach out if you’re interested in discussing or collaborating with us!

Exciting news for CCUS advancement in the North Sea! A two-year study conducted by the University of Aberdeen, in partnership with Heriot-Watt University and the Net Zero Technology Centre, has highlighted the huge possibilities for carbon capture, utilisation and storage in the Southern North Sea’s Anglo-Polish Super Basin. In addition to the great potential for the area, the study - which has been described as ‘world-class research’ by the North Sea Transition Authority – has flagged the high importance of monitoring repurposed legacy wells for leaks. The long-term sustainability of suspended or abandoned wells is vital to the late life and decommissioning process and impacts their value within the CCUS process. At Sentinel Subsea Ltd., our easy-to-deploy systems are designed to help operators monitor subsea assets without the need for active power, routine system checks or data communication to the surface. Discover how our globally deployed WellSentinel™ system provides long-term remote monitoring for the complete well life cycle: https://lnkd.in/dWmHj8Q Dive into OGV Energy’s article on the study: https://lnkd.in/e4eNnqRs #ccus #ccs #northsea
