Vestas has introduced the EnVentus wind turbine platform. The EnVentus platform will initially be available in two new variants: the V150-5.6MW and V162-5.6MW, together covering low, medium and high wind conditions. EnVentus combines technology and system designs from Vestas’ 2 MW, 4 MW and 9 MW platforms.

Rocks in the seabed off the UK coast could provide long-term storage locations for renewable energy production, new research suggests. Engineers and geoscientists from the Universities of Edinburgh and Strathclyde used mathematical models to assess the potential of the process, called compressed air energy storage (CAES).

A new research collaboration is utilising UK aerospace technology to develop a leading-edge protection system for offshore wind turbines. Improving protection for offshore wind turbine blades against erosion can significantly reduce turbine blade repair costs and loss of power production through maintenance downtime. It can also enable the development of longer, lighter turbine blades with higher tip speeds.

The ECN part of TNO, KNMI and Whiffle consortium have released the new and improved Dutch Offshore Wind Atlas (DOWA). The wind is mapped up-to 600m in height and the daily variability of the wind captured for all to view. With this information the Dutch government and wind farm developers can plan, build and operate offshore wind farms even more efficiently.
