SINTEF ENERGY RESEARCH

FME NorthWind works to turn wind R&D into a profitable export industry that creates green jobs and respects nature. The research will address the grand science and engineering challenges to realise the full potential of the wind energy sector in a sustainable future... According to the IEA, offshore wind has the potential to cover the world's electricity demand 18 times over. NorthWind aims to advance the reseach in areas where Norwegian industry has a strong potential to supply technology and services to the international market, namely within structures and integrity, marine operations and logistics, electrical infrastructure and system integration, and digital twin and asset management. NorthWind also addresses sustainable wind development, to ensure a balanced approach towards wind energy development, on land and offshore, developing knowledge and solutions to minimise negative environmental impact and improve public engagement.
