Asso.subsea Wraps Up Subsea Cables Installation at French Floating Wind Pilot
first floating wind farm developed by EDF Renewables and its partners. During the last three years, we have worked meticulously performing very detailed engineering analyses as a testament to our commitment to innovation and sustainability.“By contributing to EU and national targets for renewable energy generation and greenhouse gas emission reduction, this accomplishment reaffirms our company’s steadfast commitment to facilitating the green transition,” said Dimitris Panagos, Director of Offshore Wind at Asso.subsea

that play a strategic role in the energy transition and electrification processes," Battista said. In particular he cited submarine cable systems for large interconnections and offshore wind farms, cables for protective grid hardening and applications for wind and solar renewable energy generation.Prysmian said its project business, which supplies cabling for land and submarine power interconnections and offshore wind farms, had an order backlog - including the recent Biscay Gulf Interconnection deal - worth 9.1 billion euros at the end of March, an all-time high.The company
Energy @ Sea: Powering Up in the Blue Desert
electric grids. Storage is needed to save energy when produced in excess so that it can be delivered during periods of peak demand. At the low-power end of the spectrum are the systems that require in-situ energy. “Today, the ocean is a power desert. There are no resident sources of renewable energy generation or storage for the ocean economy. To operate equipment, sensors, underwater vehicles or unmanned surface vessels at sea, it currently requires people-, capital- and carbon-intensive solutions such as sending manned vessels to recharge systems from diesel-fueled generators.”C-Power&rsquo
Norwegian Petroleum Directorate to Start Seabed Surveys for Offshore Wind
(NPD) with conducting surveys in connection with awarding acreage for offshore wind.The NPD has been given the assignment to plan and implement a tendering process for preliminary surveys in the areas of Sørlige Nordsjø II and Utsira Nord, which were opened for applications for renewable energy generation about 18 months ago.These surveys will gather basic seismic, bathymetry, and water column data. The Government is proposing an additional appropriation of NOK 65 million (around $6.6 million) for the NPD over the revised national budget (RNB) for this assignment."The procurement process
ABB Wins UTC Award for Subsea Electrification Technology
and conversion technology able to work in down to 3,000 m water depth and over distances of up to 600 km.The technology unlocks the ability to move entire process systems to the seabed, lowering emissions, reducing environmental impact, enabling greater digitalization and integration with renewable energy generation, and improving recovery rates. The project, which was supported by operators Chevron, Equinor, and Total, and Chevron, was one of the industry’s largest JIPs and, at peak, involved more than 200 scientists, engineers, and specialists from ABB.Following the completion of the
Norway and Germany Open NordLink Power Cable
Thursday, a direct power cable between the two countries that will provide Europe's largest economy with green energy at a time it is phasing out polluting coal power.Norway's electricity production is almost exclusively hydropower-based and its large reservoirs mean it can control its renewable energy generation and also help plug shortfalls in Germany's intermittent supply from wind and solar plants.The cable will help turn Norway, which is also Western Europe's largest oil and gas exporter, into a green energy hub for the region, the new head of state-owned transmission system operator

second phase of the project, which will add additional three floating 0.5 MWp units in 2021, bringing the total solar capacity on the Banja reservoir to 2 MWp."Testing new technology for floating solar power panels fits very well with Statkraft’s strategy to grow the company’s renewable energy generation from hydro, wind and solar. If the technology is proven successful and the potential for cost-competitiveness can be achieved, a wider application of floating solar may take place also in other Statkraft locations," Statkraft said."Ocean Sun is very pleased to start construction
Offshore Wind Cable Market to Reach $3B
in line with rising high-capacity large-scale transmission technologies.Asia Pacific is anticipated to develop second to Europe because of its growing developments, such as rising urbanisation and industrialization that lead to greater supply in the electricity industry. The nations focus on renewable energy generation, and offshore wind is an essential component of renewable power generation.Technological progress and the use of clean energy would further boost the deployment of wind power and open up new options for emerging Asia-Pacific markets, especially in countries like China, Japan and South
Eni Pilots Wave Energy Converter
Italian multinational oil and gas company Eni has activated the Inertial Sea Wave Energy Converter (ISWEC), offshore Ravenna, capable of converting energy generated by waves into electricity, which will in the future enable Eni to convert mature offshore platforms into renewable energy generation hubs.The pilot plant was installed at the Ravenna offshore site by Eni’s Central Northern District and has been integrated into a hybrid smart grid system featuring photovoltaics and energy storage.It reached a peak power output of over 51 kW, or 103% of its nominal power. This technology is suitable
