NORCOWE will enable scientific and industrial partners in the consortium to work together in developing new innovative solutions for the realisation of offshore wind energy technology, with particular focus on concepts for large water depths and harsh offshore environments.
The centre will focus on research and innovations within the following five work packages (WPs):
The exploitation of synergy effects between the key research areas will yield substantial benefits, for the consortium parties in particular, and for the society in general.
The application to the Research Council of Norway gives the basis for the activities in Norcowe (budgets have been reduced by 25% and adjustments will be made accordingly).
