DNV has published an updated edition of its recommended practice DNV-RP-0585, Seismic design of wind power plants, providing revised guidance for the seismic design of onshore and offshore wind projects. The updated guidance reflects the growing deployment of wind energy in earthquake-prone regions, particularly across the Asia-Pacific region, where seismic loading is becoming an increasingly important design consideration. Earthquakes can affect wind turbines, foundations, offshore substations, power cables and installation vessels, creating engineering challenges beyond those addressed by conventional wind and wave design methods.

Omexom in Germany and Austrian company Seven Bel have developed Acoustiscan, a system designed to detect partial discharges in high- and medium-voltage components before damage occurs. Partial discharges are considered early indicators of insulation deterioration in medium- and high-voltage systems. The technology, which has been adapted specifically for offshore installations, is intended to help prevent unplanned outages, improve maintenance planning and reduce repair costs.
