New lower weight noncorrosive structural materials and efficient new production methods will result in producing and placing offshore wind turbines at a rate of 50 units per year all at a significantly reduced cost compared to current practices.

Onshore wind has more than 70,800 units in the United States. Unfortunately, onshore wind is not strong enough, nor does it blow often enough, to meet our growing clean-energy needs. Offshore wind is stronger and more consistent, yet there are only seven offshore wind-turbine generators operating. A new process that starts with the signing of […]

As offshore wind farms push into deeper waters and more challenging environments, integrating advanced monitoring and forecasting systems will bring substantial safety and efficiency benefits.

What likely started as a routine offshore training exercise last February turned calamitous when a helicopter crashed off Norway’s west coast, claiming the life of one crew member and injuring all five others onboard. This tragedy, along with recent helicopter safety training exercises on Cape Cod where offshore wind workers practiced underwater escape techniques, cements […]
