| Ampyx Power’s Airborne Wind Energy System | |
|
Flying a plane like a kite Ampyx Power’s AWES (Airborne Wind Energy System) is a tethered rigid wing drone connected to a generator on the ground. The drone steers itself across the wind in a repetitive pattern at an altitude of up to 450 m. |

Dutch Offshore Wind Atlas (DOWA)
|
|
|
Lower uncertainties for North Sea offshore wind energy with accurate wind information The Dutch Offshore Wind Atlas (DOWA) provides accurate wind information at the North Sea for offshore wind energy use. It is an innovation in the wind energy sector in the Netherlands. |

| Gentle Driving of Piles (GDP) | |
|
Twist the cork and it becomes thinner Gentle Driving of Piles (GDP) is a project led by TU Delft that is executed within the GROW program. The method for pile driving they developed is based on utilizing a certain vibration unused so far in the industry for pile driving. With this the novel installation method, the pile installation process can be made as efficient as possible. |

| Hydraulic Pile Extraction – Scale Tests (HyPE-ST) | |
|
Sustainable monopile decommissioning, one step closer to circularity The Hydraulic Pile Extraction – Scale Tests (HyPE-ST) project aimed at both the fundamental understanding and the demonstration of the feasibility of hydraulically extracting monopiles for decommissioning. |

| Noise Mitigation System (NMS) | |
|
Noise Mitigation System: the future standard noise reduction method for offshore pile driving? The Noise Mitigation System is a new system to reduce noise during offshore pile driving. Just like the muffler in an exhaust of a car, the Noise Mitigation System targets specific low frequencies that produce most noise. |
