Trelleborg Launches Advanced Sealing System for Offshore Wind Foundations
Trelleborg Marine and Infrastructure has launched advanced sealing system, IRIS, for Airtight Platforms (ATP), which has the potential to improve offshore wind foundation designs.The new seal eliminates the need for welded steel landing rings traditionally used in monopiles (MPs) and transition pieces (TPs), providing an effective solution to lower Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE) for offshore wind projects, a crucial metric for developers seeking to maximize their return on investment.Key advantages of the IRIS include significant reductions in costs associated with primary steel, welding, and engineeri
Dutch Firm Designs Blades for TouchWind’s Innovative Floating Wind Turbine
We4Ce, a Dutch rotor blade designer, has designed 10 rotor blade sets for Dutch wind turbine startup TouchWind for testing on its floating TW6 turbine, a self-tilting, one-piece rotor design that breaks from conventional three-blade models.Engineered to withstand wind speeds of up to 250 km/h, said to be the highest wind class in wind industry standards, the future commercial version is expected to cost significantly less than traditional turbines while delivering higher energy yields.Responsible for the blade design, We4Ce partnered with Dutch mould specialist Kleizen to produce both the moulds and
Israeli Firm Gets Final Permit for US Wave Energy Demo
Eco Wave Power, an onshore wave energy technology company, has received a final permit for the construction and demonstration of its wave energy technology in San Pedro, California.The Revocable Permit 25-05 by the Port of Los Angeles was executed on behalf of the Executive Director, Eugene D. Seroka on March 27, 2025.This permit is the final approval required for Eco Wave Power to start construction of its pilot project, following it receiving a federal Nationwide Permit (NWP) 52 for Water-Based Renewable Energy Generation Pilot Projects granted by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in November 2024.
NYK, Partners to Develop Renewable Energy-Powered Floating Data Center
NYK Line, NTT FACIITIES, Eurus Energy Holdings Corporation, MUFG Bank, and the city of Yokohama have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) for a demonstration project of an offshore green data center, utilizing a mini-float installed as a disaster countermeasure.On a mini-float, spanning 25 meters in length and 80 meters in width, installed off Osanbashi Pier in Yokohama City, the partners will test an offshore floating data center fully powered by renewable energy generated by solar power and battery energy storage systems.Based on the results, the partners will explore further developments in
Aquajet to Launch New Hydrodemolition Robot Series
Hydrodemolition company Aquajet plans to launch two robots in April: the Aqua Cutter 450A and Aqua Cutter 450V.The new electric 450 series is a more compact, maneuverable design than the Aqua Cutter 750V. The new models incorporate the Evolution 3.0 control system and the patented Infinity oscillation system.Despite their reduced size, they can handle reaction forces up to 1400N, making them highly effective in confined spaces without compromising performance.Like all Aqua Cutter robots, the 450A and 450V efficiently clean and descale rebar without causing microfractures, ensuring structural integrity.
CorPower Ocean, NTNU Join Forces for AI-Based Wave Energy Project
CorPower Ocean has secured financial backing from Vinnova, Sweden’s national innovation agency, for a project exploring the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) for improved performance and control in wave energy technology.The WACE project, short for Wave energy AI-based Control Enhancement, is now underway and is set to run until November 2025.CorPower Ocean is being supported by project partner Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU).A model-based design framework will be used in the WACE project. After establishing requirements for the closed-loop control system, an AI-based
