Through OWI-Lab, Sirris has developed a methodology to assess the economic impact of innovations on offshore wind farms and expanded the models and the capability to include the green hydrogen generation. All results were presented on two European conferences for the wind industry.

New developments in technology, materials and information can make the operation of future floating wind farms cheaper, which will also reduce electricity generation costs.

You can approach sustainability by focusing on the physical aspect of durability or by focusing on the (ecological) systems and processes with the lowest possible environmental impact or even positive and regenerative impact. This article discusses what sustainability means for biocomposites, what ...

When setting up activities in the inner circles of the circular economy - remanufacturing, refurbishing, retrofitting, repair, parts harvesting, etc.- there is a need for cooperation between companies. In almost all cases, there are activities that cannot or will not be carried out by one single ...

By combining a light polymer with strong and rigid fibres, composites bring all these properties together in one material. Composites also offer other advantages, such as freedom of shape, corrosion and fatigue resistance. They are therefore widely applicable in industries such as aerospace ...

Measuring is knowing, but knowing alone does not appear to be enough: global circularity has been steadily declining, year after year, since 2019. Just as important as knowing measurement results is accepting that we need to make adjustments if we want to have an impact on those results. Some tips ...

After a successful test series, Siemens Energy was able to demonstrate that a new step-up transformer for wind industry applications can also start in cold conditions, to improve the cold-start procedure and to reduce waiting times after a cold period.

Epoxy resins are still a first-choice polymer for applications in adhesives, composites and protective coatings on wood, concrete or stone because of the good balance in mechanical properties and long-term protection. Their use, however, is somewhat limited due to some drawbacks in intrinsic ...

Circular economy and circularity are everywhere these days, although for many companies these concepts are still too vague. How to turn theory into practice remains a big question. With the 'Circularity put into practice' event on 6 June 2023, Sirris intends to make things a little clearer.
