On August 1st 2024, the BMWK-funded research project FloatStructure officially started. Andreas supports ESOS Wind GmbH in the conceptual implementation of the project. It forms part of the collaborative research initiative FloatModular, which aims to develop new floating offshore wind turbine (FOWT) concepts based on a modular and scalable support structure adaptable to different water depths and turbine sizes.
Andreas supports ESOS Wind GmbH by taking over the CFD investigations in the BMWK-funded research project CableProtect, which started in September 2023.
The exhaust emissions from ships are not only discussed in terms of GHG (greenhouse gas) reductions. The operators of offshore supply vessels (OSV) are concerned about their technical employees who work primarily on deck and are exposed to the exhaust. In addition to these health matters, yacht and cruise ship operators want to avoid that passengers be disrupted by the smell of exhaust gases.
