Description
OFFSHORE’s objective is to create sustainable partnerships between Polish and Norwegian research centers, companies and clusters involved in offshore renewable energy to address a dynamically growing RDI demand in this domain. OFFSHORE will focus on two complementary pillars in which the partners exhibit particular strengths: (1) Renewable energy production, where the Norwegian partners develop innovative solutions, e.g.: VIMEC (Vortex-Induced Motion Energy Converter) - UiS, or Flex2Power (Flexible Floating System) - Rosenberg; (2) Lifetime extension of the production installations through
Summary of the results
The initiativ achieved the following results:
- The Norwegian Offshore Wind Cluster (grouping app. 300 organisations) and the Polish Cluster for Composite Technologies (grouping app. 100 organisations) signed a collaboration agreement in Gdańsk on October 10th, 2023. The agreement provides for: the (i) exchange of information and experience in the operation of the cluster, (ii) transfer of information on planned events and initiatives, (iii) organization of joint initiatives such as conferences, workshops, seminars, (iv) supporting partners in establishing contacts in the market, and (v) mutual promotion.
- TPF and UiS developed and submitted a joint proposal for the call HORIZON-WIDERA-2023-ACCESS-02 - TWINNING. The proposal was titled “Numerical tools towards offshore wind energy reliability and sustainability – TOWERS”, received a good evaluation (12/15), not enough, however, to get funded.
-TPF and UiS developed an elaborated concept note for a potential Horizon Europe proposal with a draft title: “Harmonizing Ecological Landscapes and Industrial Offshore Systems”.
-TPF, UiS and Rosenberg, as well as two SMEs from PCCT: WindTak and TMBK developed an elaborated concept note for a joint research project on “Efficiency improvement of wind turbine blades by developed system of multi material and simulations solutions”.
The partners developed a roadmap presenting opportunities for present and future collaboration and outlining joint actions.
