NiD4OCEAN will advance the emerging field of nature-inclusive designs, NiDs, (and nature-based solutions, NBS, in general) for offshore renewables by providing effective, novel, context-dependent solutions to industry, managers, and policymakers. This will accelerate their implementation to support the achievement of the international and EU targets for c...

VISION To develop Safety Net, a resident marine based autonomous search and rescue service that will enable three significant changes in the design and operation of offshore wind farms to improve safety and profitability. Change 1: Provide 24/7 rapid emergency response for offshore wind farms that reduces casualty recovery time frames helping to save live...

"SISProtect will develop and demonstrate a solution to address the construction and O&M costs, health and safety and environmental factors associated with current scour protection systems. Scour is the erosion of the seabed caused by moving water such as those commonly experienced in offshore environments where the sea currents / waves cause sandy seabeds...

"CROWN 2 builds on a previously-funded project (CROWN) that aims to completely change the way offshore wind foundations are protected from corrosion. While a well-established and robust solution is to use a paint and galvanic anode approach, protection lifetime is limited by paint degradation and anode mass. Such systems are also expensive to manufacture,...

This project will demonstrate the operation of an array of Pelamis P2 wave energy converters, operated by Pelamis Wave Power under contract to E.ON and ScottishPower Renewables. The objectives of the project are to refine O&M methods, enhance machine performance, demonstrate machine reliability and to support a robust cost reduction strategy for future pr...
