Two offshore wind research buoys managed by the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) were deployed recently off the coast of California. This marks the first time the buoys have been launched to gather meteorological and oceanographic measurements off the West Coast.
3 GW of ocean energy could be deployed worldwide, with costs falling to around €90/MWh for tidal stream and €110/MWh for wave energy, according to a new publication by industry body Ocean Energy Europe. The 2030 Ocean Energy Vision, launched on Tuesday, October 13, 2020, charts an exciting path for ocean energy’s roll-out over the coming decade.
Xodus Group and BW Research Partnership will conduct a research project to assess the local and regional supply chain in support of the growing offshore wind industry in and around Massachusetts.
ABPmer recently supported a study by Offshore Wind Innovation Hub (OWIH) into potential operation and maintenance (O&M) costs for floating offshore wind. As part of their Industry Insight Series, the Hub’s new report ‘Floating wind: Cost modelling of major repair strategies’, looks at options for these repairs, estimated at 23% of annual O&M costs.
