Below are insights and recent articles on some of the NDC’s ongoing projects.
Read an article in the Aberdeen and Grampian Chamber of Commerce November business bulletin for an account of how the National Decommissioning Centre is delivering for the offshore renewables sector. The NDC's modelling expertise and simulation capabilities is the key to this delivery, enabling the virtual trialling/derisking of technologies, optimisation of operations and logistics and enhanced understanding of ecological impacts.
A new paper analyses how a novel lightweight Floating Offshore Wind Turbine (FOWT) being developed by T-Omega Wind responds in various wave conditions, using both the advanced marine simulator at the NDC, and the longest towing tank in Scotland at the Kelvin Hydrodynamic Laboratory (KHL).
Read an academic paper on variable buoyancy anchor deployment analysis for floating wind applications using the NDC's marine simulator.
The NDC is working in collaboration with partners, including industry, to address decommissioning challenges. Here you can read three case studies that have delivered new insights and methodologies to support decision making and advance current practices in decommissioning.
Energy Voice 4 September, 2023, NDC Director Professor Richard Neilson talks about the NDC's world-leading simulation capabilities giving real-life examples of how the technology has been used to solved problems offshore.
AGCC Business Bulletin September issue, feature on the role the NDC is playing in Data for Net Zero (D4NZ), a collaborative project to develop a Smart Energy Basin for the UKCS.
A new paper from the National Decommissioning Centre's Dr Shahin Jalili and colleagues has assessed the economic and environmental challenges of offshore wind farms as they enter the decommissioning phase.
