Technology and Innovation

Integrated solutions across the value chain

Our project-specific approach enables us to choose the most appropriate technology for each initiative, encouraging local contributions and fostering innovation.

Next Generation Offshore Wind Farm

Supported by Enova, this project will use 2,5 M€ to develop a more cost effective floating offshore wind farm design. The use of 132 kV inter array voltage, a 200 % increase from the current state of the art, is central to the project.

This will enable the use of a remote onshore substation, rather than a floating substation, which will reduce costs significantly. Read more about the project here.

This project is focused on the development of Utsira Nord field.

Ocean Grid

Ocean grid is a 12,5 M€ collaboration project between SINTEF Energy Research, offshore wind farm developers and the supply industry.

The project will develop necessary technology and market design for an offshore grid that connect offshore wind farms to the grid on land. This grid must be as cost effective as possible and should ensure an optimal design for the whole Norwegian continental shelf, rather than being designed for individual projects.

The project is highly relevant for the Sørlige Nordsjø II field.

Impact Wind

Impact Wind is a 5,6 M€ collaboration project led by the NORCE, together with research partners: University of Bergen, University of Agder and University of Stavanger, as well as offdhore wind developers and other industry partners.

The main objective of the project is to enable faster development of offshore wind on the Norwegian shelf through the development of research-based knowledge and the construction of long-term education/research capacity for effective licence application processes. Read more about the project here.

Repurposing O&G assets for offshore wind

Knutsen group, one of the major shareholders in Deep Wind Offshore, is considering repurposing oil tankers to offshore wind freight- / installation vessels.

Repurposing vessels rather than constructing new is sustainable, helping to reduce total environmental impact from offshore wind farms.
