Accelerating offshore wind farms
The Netherlands has set clear ambitions to accelerate the energy transition. By 2050 all energy used in the country shall come from sustainable sources and offshore wind energy plays a vital role in the transition to a carbon-free energy supply. The government has defined a roadmap for the Dutch offshore wind portfolio aiming to expand to 21 GW by 2032.
Offshore wind farms move up a gear
To achieve these ambitions, TNO is orchestrating innovations and developing innovative technologies and methodologies for the new generations of wind farms.
Our latest developments
Improving wind turbine maintenance with the sensor installation robot
Better damage prediction for wind turbine blades through unique weather measurements at sea
Reduce Europe’s dependence on Chinese wind power and electrolysers
