sowento has kicked off the development of FlexDyn, a versatile tool for coupled multibody system (MBS) simulation for Onshore, Bottom Fixed, and Floating Offshore Wind Turbines (FOWT). It is a new structural dynamics module for the well-known OpenFAST software by United States National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL). FlexDyn allows an elastic modelling of the substructure […]

The official name of the CROWN project is “Motion Reduction of a Concrete Reduced-draft spar for the Offshore floating Wind iNdustry” which highlights the main aspects that are considered in the project: The consortium is working to reduce the motion of the floating platform by different technologies and approaches.  Floating wind turbines are a fascinating development in

VAMOS/FLOATEOLE is launched to further reduce the cost of floating offshore wind! Offshore wind is taking the next step: floating foundations for deeper waters are becoming a tested and proven technology. How can we further reduce their cost to accelerate their deployment? A good understanding of floating offshore wind turbines is essential to decrease the

New Project CROWN for the Offshore Floating Wind Industry has recently started focusing on  different methodologies of motion reduction of floating platforms for the Offshore floating wind industry. Seaplace, University of Stuttgart, and sowento have started a new joined project CROWN. CROWN is a common project funded by EUREKA, which is an initiative to strengthen

The second cooperation project of sowento and Goldwind ended which has focused on the realization of lidar-assisted control for Goldwind’s wind turbines. Last month, the second cooperation project of sowento and Goldwind ended which has focused on the realization of lidar-assisted control for Goldwind’s wind turbines. The sowento team has investigated the different aspects of

We are very proud to announce that David has started his new position as a research professor at University of Applied Science Flensburg (HS Flensburg). We congratulate you and wish you all the best for the new opportunities.  We believe that this step will boost the creativity and the innovative ability of sowento and are
