The OCEAN project contributes to the future of offshore renewable energy by advancing science, supporting society’s clean energy needs, and providing industry with practical solutions. Our vision is to make floating offshore wind turbines safer, longer-lasting, and more efficient, accelerating the transition to a carbon-neutral future.
Scientific Impact
- Develop new methods for fluid–structure interaction in offshore conditions.
- Combine vibration control principles from earthquake engineering with offshore wind design.
- Create validated models, datasets, and computational tools for researchers.
Societal Impact
- Support the EU Green Deal and Greece’s renewable energy strategy.
- Contribute to a secure, sustainable, and affordable energy supply.
- Train young researchers in advanced offshore wind technologies.
Industrial & Economic Impact
- Extend turbine lifetimes and reduce operation & maintenance costs.
- Provide industry with cost-effective, ready-to-use design methods.
- Strengthen the competitiveness of Greek and European renewable energy sectors.
Our vision is simple but ambitious: to make floating wind turbines that last longer, cost less, and generate more, ensuring offshore wind becomes a cornerstone of Europe’s clean energy future.
