A research team led by TU Delft has developed a new dynamic open-source model, called OFF, to improve understanding and optimisation of wind farm performance. Unlike conventional steady-state models, OFF captures the time-varying behaviour of turbine wakes, allowing more realistic simulations of wind flow and control strategies.

Enercon has signed a memorandum of understanding with Canadian company Biome Renewables to explore the integration of Biome’s FeatherEdge serration technology on Enercon wind turbines.
Initial joint tests with Enercon’s customer Schierloh Engineering in Germany suggest that the technology could deliver further acoustic benefits for noise-sensitive sites.

OS Energy has adopted Sonardyne’s Sprint-Nav DP dynamic positioning (DP) reference system to support its marine renewable energy projects in the North and Baltic Seas. The system enables vessels to maintain DP integrity in shallow water and in environments where Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) signals are disrupted, conditions that are increasingly common in offshore wind construction and maintenance.
