Dublin, Ireland (December 17, 2024)

<p>A four-year project involving EPRI Europe has developed new design simulation models for offshore wind turbines, finding that using less material in turbine construction can reduce the cost per unit of produced energy by up to 9%. That could boost the competitiveness of offshore wind, helping the European Union meet its goal of installing 450 gigawatts of offshore wind by 2050.</p>

Leading energy industry and research collaborators from across Europe are launching the EU-DREAM project this month to accelerate innovation in digital tools and enhance the adoption of digital services in the energy market.

Ireland (July 12, 2024)

The offshore wind energy sector is poised for a significant transformation with the launch of WinDTwin, a groundbreaking European-funded project aimed at revolutionising wind power production forecasting and management. With a grant of €6 million, this three-year initiative unites a diverse consortium of 13 entities from seven countries, unified by the goal of creating a highly accurate and dynamic digital twin (DT) for offshore wind farms.

Dublin, Ireland (June 17, 2024)

As decarbonization accelerates in many parts of the world, local energy communities and consumers are assisting in the energy transition. In the Dingle Peninsula, Dublin-based non-profit energy R&D institute EPRI Europe and four other Irish institutions are leading a pilot that is testing tools to assist in the reliability, flexibility, and security of the local energy system.

Delft, The Netherlands (June 3, 2024)

The third General Meeting of the HVDC-WISE project consortium was held at the TU Delft facilities in the Netherlands on May 28th and 29th. The meeting focused on the progress and results achieved in each work package (WP) and the development of use cases.
