As the marine industry is constantly evolving, and requiring more computer technology, there is a demand for specialist computers capable of withstanding the environmental hostilities. One such example is Captec’s highly integrated compact computer for on board applications such as hydro graphic survey. This highly compact, yet powerful computer system is tested to IEC-60945 EMC [...]
Recent findings show that the intelligent software protects wind turbines against overload and avoids breakdowns. This development of the BMBF-funded joint project “Wint-LES” will be tested in practice. Offshore wind farms play an important role in energy transition, but the requirements for wind turbines are enormous. Weather conditions do not allow constant access to the [...]
With a new and innovative technology, it is now possible to comply with exciting legislation on noise reduction during installation of offshore wind turbines. According to legislation from the EU the sound emissions from the installation of windmills at sea must be reduced so the threat to the marine mammals are minimised. Traditionally, the water [...]
