Leading wind energy port, Port Esbjerg, is creating a port simulation to develop and define its future offshore wind activities combining its experience with the planning, design and innovation expertise of Moffatt & Nichol.<\/p>\n
\u201cPort Esbjerg and the supply chain in Esbjerg have vast experience in supporting offshore wind projects, but we need to simulate the future to plan optimally today and for this we are excited to work with Moffatt & Nichol,\u201d said Dennis Jul Pedersen, CEO of Port Esbjerg.<\/p>\n
Future planning<\/strong><\/p>\n The port is not short of expertise in the area of offshore wind having been involved in the installation of 55 offshore wind parks to date. But it said it must remain proactive and plan for the flexibility that these projects naturally require.<\/p>\n Joshua Singer, offshore wind lead with Moffatt & Nichol, said that the possibility to simulate and improve the efficiency with one of the epicenters for offshore wind in Europe will generate valuable knowledge that can leapfrog Port Esbjerg ahead of its competition.<\/p>\n \u201cA digital twin allows Port Esbjerg to simulate every operation in context to future projects and optimise the infrastructure accordingly,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n The offshore wind market is expected to continue to grow immensely and this bears responsibility for ports servicing the industry. The demand for more offshore wind power and the fact that components constantly increase in size is demanding for port infrastructure. <\/p>\n Moffatt & Nichol has previously been involved with planning for the four largest US offshore wind port projects including Connecticut, New Jersey, New York and Virginia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A European port is to create a digital twin to simulate future growth potential in wind energy<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":2056,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[314,354,352,345,351,174,353],"sponsor":[],"class_list":["post-2055","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-europe-greenport","tag-digital-twin","tag-digitalisation","tag-moffatt-nichol","tag-offshore-wind","tag-port-esbjerg","tag-renewables","tag-simulation"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2055","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2055"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2055\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2057,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2055\/revisions\/2057"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2056"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2055"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2055"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2055"},{"taxonomy":"sponsor","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/sponsor?post=2055"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
