In his article about our FlexibleFit approach Eize de Vries takes a closer look at our new flexible and standardized drivetrain concept for onshore and offshore wind turbines. The new concept features a modular and scalable structure that can be adapted to various wind turbine sizes and power ratings. Reduced product life cycles and shorter development times with consistently high reliability require the modularisation and standardisation of wind turbine drivetrain components. In the article, Ralf Hambrecht, our head of powertrain systems, explains how our FlexibleFit concept can fulfil these requirements in the future.

🏭 This is Maasvlakte, our Steam and biomass station in the Netherlands. After two years of digitalizing our processes we now operate a "Steam Optimizer" which has helped improve our performance and reduce costs. This frees up our time and investment to focus on projects such as Hydrogen. 💡Digitalization drives the energy transition forward. Maasvlakte is just one example of how COODE, our digital transformation initiative, is implemented. It helps us reallocate budget to more future proofed projects and to achieve higher business efficiency. Our operational fleet is unique in terms of data quality, improving decision making and removing obstacles in day-to-day operations. This is #COODE #steamoptimizer #digitalization

The plans for the Hydrogen Network in the Netherlands are well underway! In preparation for the construction in the North Sea Canal area (Amsterdam and surrounding area), the Preferred Alternative Concept was published on April 19, 2024. You can provide feedback or join an information session. In the Preferred Alternative Concept, Rob Jetten, the Minister for Climate and Hugo de Jonge, Energy and the Minister of the Interior and Kingdom Relations, express their preferences for the locations of the pipelines. To enable industries to use sustainable hydrogen, Hynetwork (a subsidiary of gas TSO Gasunie) is establishing a nationwide network of hydrogen pipelines. This network connects major industrial regions, hydrogen storage and import locations, and neighbouring countries like Germany and Belgium. In total, 1,200 kilometers of pipelines will be developed step by step, divided into projects starting from the industrial regions. Hydrogen Network Netherlands is being built in phases. The goal is to have the network fully completed by 2030. https://lnkd.in/e9knCueB

🌀 The work of all partners in each project is a myriad of technical, analytical, but also practical work. Today we'll dive into the role of the Wind Energy Department of the Delft University of Technology in TWAIN. ✍️ For Riccardo Ferrari, the Delft Center for Systems and Control of TU Delft is prepared for the real life analysis of wind farm operations in extreme conditions "as an outcome meant for a wide-public. We are working on developing a serious game where the general public, policy makers and industrial stakeholders can simulate the effect of different policies, markets and extreme conditions on the operation of a wind farm." #twainproject #windpower #windfarm #windenergy #artificialintelligence ________ DTU Wind and Energy Systems | Centro Nacional de Energías Renovables (CENER) - National Renewable Energy Centre | Delft University of Technology | Technical University of Munich | F6S Innovation | ENGIE GREEN | Laborelec | EDF | Ramboll | SoftServe

Following AFRY releasing its report that supported the Dutch Government’s decision making for IJmuiden Ver Gamma and Nederwiek I (https://lnkd.in/dc33Cp-V), this week we learned about the 2 winners of the most recently closed Dutch offshore wind tender: IJmuiden Ver Alpha & Beta (https://lnkd.in/dh-DeREx). - IJmuiden Ver Alpha: 2GW awarded to Noordzeker, a consortium formed by Pensioenfonds ABP, APG and SSE Renewables - IJmuiden Ver Beta: 2GW for Zeevonk II, a consortium formed by Vattenfall and Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners Both huge developments are expected to be commissioned in 2029. These two developments reflect the attractiveness of the Dutch offshore wind tenders in which qualitative criteria can give a strong motivation for innovation, not just within individual site operations but for the wider supply chain. In response to the emphasis for this site to contribute to the ecosystem of the Dutch North Sea, Noordzeker will not only build a wind farm, but also a ‘living laboratory’ to show how wind farms can help combat climate change. More than 75% of the wind turbines in the wind farm will have artificial reefs. Zeevonk II, in response to a need to focus on the integration of the wind farm into the energy System, will install a 1GW electrolyzer in the port of Rotterdam as well as the largest offshore solar park in the Netherlands (50MWp). In addition to that, Noordzeker will pay € 1 million per year and Zeevonk II will pay € 20 million per year, both for a period of 40 years.   And now, let’s take a look at the offshore wind sector in The Netherlands. With the recently awarded 4GW, The Netherlands has 10.3GW of operational and in development offshore wind farms. All this capacity is expected to be in operation before the end of the decade. What’s more interesting is that in the next 3 years, there will be more than 10.7GW tendered – enough to ensure that The Netherlands hits its stated target of 21GW by 2032.   At AFRY we have a longstanding relationship with The Netherlands, not only because a significant part of our Offshore Wind team is based there but also because we have helped the government and developers in past tenders. If you want to learn more about what we can do to help you, please reach out to Imke Maassen van den Brink and Fleur Greetham.   #AFRY #makingfuture #engineeredbyAFRY #Offshorewind #energytransition #dutchtender #TheNetherlands

Hydrogen is a key piece of the energy puzzle in the move towards net zero. And this week, we were excited to engage with the industry again at the World Hydrogen Summit & Exhibition in Rotterdam. During the event we announced the delivery of a world-first certified bulk shipment of low-carbon ammonia to Japan – a landmark cargo created by capturing CO2 for permanent storage deep underground. It’s one example of how the low-carbon hydrogen economy is making strides. By leveraging technology and partnerships, we aim to capture 5% of the global market by 2030. #EnergyForLife #WorldHydrogen2024
