The Front CoverAcoustic mitigation devices are one of industrystandard solutions for preventing adverse effects of marine infrastructural development works. FaunaGuard, developed by Ace Aquatec, is a set of species-specific devices which are available for marine contractors and other interested parties to hire. These modular devices create a marine mammal exclusion zone by targeting their respective hearing ranges and repelling them with specialised underwater sound patterns. On page 6 you can read more about the system.. Publisher's NoteAn imbalanced marketFeaturesTargeted Offshore Acoustic Deterrents

The Front CoverSubsea superconducting transmission cables were shown to offer greater economic benefits to the energy system than conventional high-voltage, direct current (HVDC) copper technology in a 2050 offshore grid. The University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, Offshore Renewable Energy Catapult, UK, and SuperNode, Ireland, have conducted technical and techno-economic studies analysing the potential benefits of high-temperature superconductor subsea transmission cables.

The Front CoverRepair of wind turbine blades can cost many thousands of dollars. Such high costs can influence the wind energy costs in general. Thus, efficient repair of wind turbines is an important element of the renewable energy transition, making wind energy more competitive. In the article on page 7, mechanisms of wind turbine blade degradation, repair technologies and possibilities to reduce the repair costs are reviewed.

The Front CoverIn recent years, operators of wind farms have become aware of an annoying effect reducing the performance of their turbines – the impact of weather-induced erosion at the rotor blade surface, mainly at the leading edge. Offshore wind parks in particular are impacted, driven by droplets of water hitting the blades with high velocity. Read more about rotor blade erosion in the article on page 6.

The Front CoverThe wind industry is rapidly growing and taking steps towards becoming a significant source of power. But, as the discussion around climate change becomes more serious, floating wind companies need to think smarter. The first step towards increasing output from offshore wind is increasing the size of the wind turbines Read more about Gazelle Wind Power's floating wind solution in the article on page 7.
