Now here’s your hosts, Alan Hall, Joel Saxon, Phil Totaro, and Rosemary Barnes. Allen Hall: Welcome to the Uptime Wind Energy Podcast. I’m your host, Allen Hall in the Queen city of Charlotte, North Carolina. I have Yolanda Padron in of all places, Austin, Texas. We’re together to talk to this week’s news and there’s a lot going on, but before we do, I want to highlight that Joel Saxon and I will be in Edinburgh, Scotland for the re Catapult UK offshore supply chain spotlight. That’s on December 11th, which is a Thursday. We’re gonna attend that event. We’re excited to meet with everybody. Over in the UK and in Scotland. Um, a lot of people that we know and have been on the podcast over a number of years [00:01:00] are gonna be at that event. If you’re interested in attending the OE Catapult UK Offshore Supply Chain spotlight, just Google it. It’s really inexpensive to attend, and I hope to see most of you there, Yolanda. There’s some big news over in Scandinavia today, uh, as, as we’re reading these stories, uh, the Norwegian State owned Utility Stack Craft, and it’s also one of Europe’s largest renewable energy companies. As, uh, as we know, I’ve been spending a lot of money in new markets and new technologies. Uh, they are in electric vehicle charging biofuels and some offshore wind development. Off the eastern coast of Sweden. So between Finland and Sweden, they’re also involved in district heating. So Stack Craft’s a really large company with a broad scope, uh, but they’re running into a little bit of financial difficulty. And this past July, they announced some [00:02:00] workforce reductions, and those are starting to kick in. They have 168 fewer employees, uh, by the end of this third quarter. 330 more expected to leave by the end of the year when all the dive are complete. This is the worrisome part. Roughly 1000 people will longer work for the company. Now, as part of the restructuring of Stack Craft, they are going to or have sold their offshore portfolio to Zephyr Renewable. Which is another Norwegian company. So Stack Craft is the Norwegian state owned renewable energy company. Zephyr is an independent company, far as I can tell my recollection that’s the case. So they agreed to acquire the bot, the uh, offshore Sigma and Lambda North projects, which makes Zephyr the largest offshore wind developer. Sweden, not Norway, [00:03:00] in Sweden. Obviously there’s some regulatory approvals that need to happen to make this go, but it does seem like Norway still is heavily involved in Sweden. Yolanda, with all the movement in offshore wind, we’re seeing big state owned companies. Pulling themselves out of offshore wind and looks like sort of free market, capitalistic companies are going head first into offshore wind. How does that change the landscape and what should we be expecting here over the next year or two? Yolanda Padron: We, we’ve seen a large reduction in the, the workforce in offshore wind in all of these state owned companies that you mentioned. Uh, something that I think will be really interesting to see will be that different approach. Of, you know, having these companies be a bit more like traditional corporations that you see, not necessarily having them, [00:04:00] um, be so tied to whatever politically is happening in the government at the moment, or whatever is happening between governments at a time, um, and seeing exactly what value. The different aspects of a company are bringing into what that company is making into, um, what, uh, the revenue of that company is, and not just kind of what is, what is considered to be the best way forward by governments. Do you agree? Is that something that you’re sensing too? Allen Hall: The COP 30 just wrapped down in the rainforest of Brazil, and there has not been a lot of agreement news coming out of that summit. Uh, I think next year it’s gonna move to Turkey, but Australia’s involved heavily. It was supposed to be in Adelaide at one point and then it’s moved to Turkey. [00:05:00] So there doesn’t seem to be a lot of consensus globally about what should be happening for renewables, and it feels like. The state owned companies are, uh, getting heavily leveraged and losing money trying to get their footing back underneath of them, so they’re gonna have to divest of something to get back to the core of what they were doing. That’s an interesting development because I think one of the question marks regarding sort of these state owned companies was how fast were they willing to develop the technology? How much risk were they willing to take? Being backed by governments gets a little political at times, right? So they, they want to have a, a steady stream of revenue coming from these operations. And when they don’t, the politicians step in and, uh, lean on the company is a good bit. Does the move to more, uh, standalone companies that are investing sort of venture capital money and bank money taking loans? I assume most of this [00:06:00] does that. Change how the offshore industry looks at itself. One and two, what the OEMs are thinking. Because if they were going to sell to an TED or an Ecuador, or a stack raft or vattenfall, any of them, uh, you know, when you’re going to that sales discussion that they’re backed by billions and billions and billions of, of kroner or whatever the, the currency is. So you may not have to. Really be aggressive on pricing. Now you’re dealing with companies that are heavily leveraged and don’t have that banking of a government. Do you think there’s gonna be a tightening of what that marketplace looks like or more pressure to go look towards China for offshore wind turbines? Yolanda Padron: It’ll definitely get a bit more audited internally, exactly what decisions are made and and how objective teams are. I think that there’s. [00:07:00] In all of the companies that you mentioned, there’s some semblance of things that maybe happened because of what was going on politically or, or because of ties that certain governments had to each other, or certain governments had to specific corporations, um, which was a, a great way for those companies to operate at the time and what was, what made sense. But now that it’s. A third party who genuinely, you know, needs that cash flow in from that business or that part of the business, it’ll, I think you’ll definitely start seeing some, some greater efficiencies going on within Allen Hall: these teams. Well, I would hope so. If you think about the way the United States moved pre, uh, the current administration. There were a number of US based companies sort of going 50 50 on a lot of the [00:08:00] offshore development, and then they slowly started backing away. The only one that’s still really in it is Dominion, was the coastal offshore, um, coastal Virginia offshore wind project that is still progressing at a good pace. But, uh, everybody else that was involved in, and they’re not the same kind of structure as an Ecuador is. They’re not, uh, there’s kinda state-owned entities in the United States and states can’t have deficits, unlike nations can. So the US deficit obviously is massively large, but state deficits don’t really exist. So those electric companies can’t get highly leveraged where they’re gonna bleed cash. It’s just not a thing. It’s gonna happen. So I think I saw the precursors to some of this offshore turbulence happening in the United States as the. They didn’t see a lot of profit coming from the state electric companies. That seems to be flowing into Europe now pretty heavily. That started about six months [00:09:00] ago. How are they gonna structure some of these offshore projects now? Are they just gonna put them on hold and wait for interest rates to come down so that the margins go up? Is is that really the play? Is that you have the plot of land? You already have all the, the filings and the paperwork and authorization to do a project at some point, is it just now a matter of waiting where the time is? Right. Financially, Yolanda Padron: that question will be answered by each specific company and see what, what makes sense to them. I don’t think that it makes sense to stall projects that if you already have the permits in, if you already have everything in, and just to, to see when the time is right, because. Everything’s been ramping up to that moment, right? Like, uh, the water’s always already flowing. Um, but it, it’ll, it’ll definitely be interesting to see what approach, like where, where each company finds themselves. I, they’ll have to rely on [00:10:00] what information has come out in the past and maybe try to analyze it, try to see exactly where things went wrong, or try to pinpoint what. Decisions to not make. Again, knowing what they know now, but with everything already flowing and everything already in queue, it’ll have to be something that’s done sooner rather than later to not lose any of that momentum of the projects because they’re not reinventing the wheel. Allen Hall: Siemens is developing what a 20 odd megawatt, offshore turbine? 22 megawatt, if I remember right. 21, 22. Something in there. Obviously Ming Yang and some others are talking about upwards of 15 megawatts in the turbine. If you have a lot of capital at risk and not a lot of government backing in it, are you going to step down and stay in the 15 megawatt range offshore because there’s some little bit of history, or are you gonna just roll the dice? Some new technology knowing that you can get the, the dollar per megawatt [00:11:00] down. If you bought a Chinese wind turbine, put it in the water. Do you roll that? Do you roll that dice and take the risk? Or is the safer bet and maybe the financing bet gonna play out easier by using a Vestus 15 megawatt turbine or a Siemens older offshore turbine that has a track record with it. Yolanda Padron: I think initially it’ll have to be. Using what’s already been established and kind of the devil, you know? Right. I, I think it’ll, there’s a lot of companies that are coming together and, and using what’s done in the field and what operational information they have to be able to, to. Take that information and to create new studies that could be done on these new blades, on these new technologies, uh, to be able to take that next step into innovation without compromising any [00:12:00] of the, of the money, any of the aspects really like lowering your risk Allen Hall: portfolio. Yeah. ’cause the risk goes all the way down to the OEMs, right. If the developer fails and the OEM doesn’t get paid. It, it’s a. Catastrophic down the chain event that Siemens investors are looking to avoid, obviously. So they’re gonna be also looking at the financing of these companies to decide whether they’re going to sell them turbines and. The question comes up is how much are they gonna ask for a deposit before they will deliver the first turbine? It may be most of the money up front. Uh, it generally is, unless you’re a big developer. So this is gonna be an interesting, uh, turning point for the offshore wind industry. And I know in 2026 we’re gonna see a lot more news about it, and probably some names we haven’t heard of in a while. Coming back into offshore wind.

Well, as we all know, the offshore wind industry has sort of a problem, which is now starting to come more prevalent, which is the first generation of offshore wind turbines that prove that the technology could work at scale or getting old. We’re also developing a lot of new wind turbines, so the blade links are getting much longer. We don’t have a lot of design history on them. Decommissioning is expensive. Of course, anything offshore is expensive. What if we can make those blades last longer offshore, how would we do that? Well, that question has come up a number of times at many of the, the conferences that I have attended, and it looks like ORI Catapult, which is based in the UK and has their test center [00:14:00] in Blythe, England, is working with Blade Dina, which is a Danish engineering company that’s now owned by Res. So if you haven’t. Seeing anything from Blade Dina, you’re not paying attention. You should go to the website and check them out. Uh, they have all kinds of great little technology and I call it little technology, but innovative technology to make blades last longer. So some really cool things from the group of Blade Dina, but they’re gonna be working with re catapult to test an 88 meter blade for torsion. And I’m an electrical engineer. I’m gonna admit it up front, Yolanda. I don’t know a lot about torsional testing. I’ve seen it done a little bit on aircraft wings, but I haven’t seen it done on wind turbine blades. And my understanding, talking to a lot of blade experts like yourself is when you start to twist a blade, it’s not that easy to simulate the loads of wind loads that would happen normally on a turbine in the laboratory. Yolanda Padron: Absolutely. I think this is going to be so [00:15:00] exciting as someone in operations, traditionally in operations, uh, because I think a lot of the, the technology that we’ve seen so far and the development of a lot of these wind projects has been from teams that are very theory based. And so they’ve, they’ve seen what simulations can be done on a computer, and those are great and those are perfect, but. As everyone knows, the world is a crazy place. And so there’s so many factors that you might not even think to consider before going into operations and operating this, uh, wind farm for 10, 20 years. And so something that Blade Dina is doing is bringing a lot of that operational information and seeing, like applying that to the blade testing to be able to, to get us to. The next step of being able to innovate while knowing a little bit [00:16:00]more of what exactly you’re putting on there and not taking as big a risk. Allen Hall: Does the lack of torsional testing increase the risk? Because if you listen to, uh, a, a lot of blade structure people, one of the things that’s discussed, and Blaina has been working on this for a couple of years, I went back. Two or three years to see what some of the discussions were. They’ve been working with DTU for quite a while, but Dina has, uh, but they think that some of the aging issues are really related to torsion, not to flap wise or edgewise movement of the blade, if that’s the case, particularly on longer blades, newer blades, where they’re lighter. If that’s the case, is there momentum in the industry to create a standard on how to. Do this testing because I, I know it’s gonna be difficult. I, I can imagine all the people from Blaina that are working on it, and if you’ve met the Blaina folk, there [00:17:00] are pretty bright people and they’ve been working with DTU for a number of years. Everybody in this is super smart. But when you try to get something into an IEC standard, you try to simplify where it can be repeatable. Is this. Uh, is it even possible to get a repeatable torsion test or is it gonna be very specific to the blade type and, or it is just gonna be thousands of hours of engineering even to get to a torsion test? Yolanda Padron: I think right now it’ll be the thousands of hours of engineering that we’re seeing, which isn’t great, but hopefully soon there, there could be some sort of. A way to, to get all of these teams together and to create a bit of a more robust standard. Of course, these standards aren’t always perfect. We’ve seen that in, in other aspects such as lightning, but it at least gets you a starting point to, to be able to, to have everyone being compliance with, with a similar [00:18:00] testing parameters. Allen Hall: When I was at DTU, oh boy, it’s probably been a year and a half, maybe two years ago. Yikes. A lot has happened. We were able to look at, uh, blades that had come off the first offshore wind project off the coast of Denmark. These blades were built like a tank. They could live another 20, 30 years. I think they had been on in the water for 20 plus years. If I remember correctly. I was just dumbfounded by it, like, wow. That’s a long time for a piece of fiberglass to, to be out in such a harsh environment. And when they started to structurally test it to see how much life it had left in it, it was, this thing could last a lot longer. We could keep these blades turned a lot longer. Is that a good design philosophy though? Are should we be doing torsional testing to extend the lifetime to. 40, 50 years because I’m concerned now that the, well, the reality is you like to have everything fall apart at once. The gearbox to fail, the generator to fail, the [00:19:00] blades, to fail, the tower, to fail all of it at the same time. That’s your like ideal engineering design. And Rosemary always says the same thing, like you want everything to fall apart and the same day. 25 years out because at 25 years out, there’s probably a new turbine design that’s gonna be so much massively better. It makes sense to do it. 20 years is a long time. Does it make sense to be doing torsional testing to extend the lifetime of these blades past like the 20 year lifespan? Or is, or, or is the economics of it such like, if we can make these turbines in 50 years, we’re gonna do it regardless of what the bearings will hold. Yolanda Padron: From, from speaking to different people in the field, there’s a lot of appetite to try to extend the, the blade lifetime as long as the permits are. So if it’s a 50 year permit to try to get it to those 50 years as much as possible, so you don’t have to do a lot of that paperwork and a lot of the, if you have to do [00:20:00] anything related to the mono piles, it’s a bit of a nightmare. Uh, and just trying to, to see that, and of course. I agree that in a perfect world, everything would fail at once, but it doesn’t. Right? And so there you are seeing in the lifetime maybe you have to do a gearbox replacement here and there. And so, and having the, the blades not be the main issue or not having blades in the water and pieces as long as possible or in those 50 years, then you can also tackle some of the other long-term solutions to see if you, if you can have that wind farm. For those 50 years or if you are going to have to sort of either replace some of the turbines or, or eat up some of that time left over in the permit that you have. Allen Hall: Yeah, because I think the industry is moving that way to test gear boxes and to test bearings. RD test systems has made a number of advancements and test beds to do just that, to, [00:21:00] to test these 15, 20, 25 megawatt turbines for lifetime, which we haven’t done. As much of this probably the industry should have. It does seem like we’re trying to get all the components through some sort of life testing, whatever that is, but we haven’t really understood what life testing means, particularly with blades. Right? So the, the issue of torsion, which is popped its head up probably every six months. There’s a question about should we be testing for torsion that. Is in line with bearing testing that’s in line with gearbox testing. If we are able to do that, where we spend a little more money on the development side and the durability side, that would dramatically lower the cost of operations, right? Yolanda Padron: Absolutely. It, it’d lower the cost of operations. It would lower the ask. Now that. A lot of these companies are transition, are [00:22:00]transitioning to be a bit more privatized. It’ll lower the risk long term for, for getting some of those financial loans out, for these projects to actually take place. And, you know, you’ll, you’re having a, a site last 50 years, you’re going to go through different cycles. Different political cycles. So you won’t have that, um, you won’t have that to, to factor in too much, into, into your risk of whether, whether or not you, you have a permit today and don’t have it tomorrow. Allen Hall: It does bring the industry to a interesting, uh, crossroads if we can put a little more money into the blades to make them last 25 years. Pretty regularly like the, the, you’re almost guaranteeing it because of the technology that bleeding that’s gonna develop with Ory Catapult and you get the gearbox and you can get the generator and bearings all to do the same thing. [00:23:00] Are you willing to pay a little bit more for that turbine? Because I think in today’s world or last year’s world, the answer was no. I wanted the cheapest blade. I wanted the cheapest, uh, to sell. I could get, I wanna put ’em on a tower, I’m gonna call it done. And then at least in the United States, like repower, it’s boom, 10 years it’s gonna repower. So I don’t care about year 20. I don’t even care about year 11, honestly, that those days have are gone for a little while, at least. Do you think that there’s appetite for say, a 10% price increase? Maybe a 15% say 20. Let’s just go crazy and say it’s a 20% price increase to then know, hey, we have some lifecycle testing. We’re really confident in the durability these turbines is. There’s a trade off there somewhere there, right? Yolanda Padron: Yeah. I mean, spending 10, 20% of CapEx to it, it. Will, if you can dramatically increase [00:24:00] the, the lifetime of the blades and not just from the initial 10 years, making them 20 years like we’re talking about, but some of these blades are failing before they hit that 10 year mark because of that lack of testing, right. That we’ve seen, we’ve talked to so many people about, and it’s an unfortunate reality. But it is a reality, right? And so it is something that if you’re, you’re either losing money just from having to do a lot of repairs or replacements, or you’re losing money from all of the downtime and not having that generation until you can get those blade repairs or replacements. So in spending a little bit more upfront, I, I feel like there should be. Great appetite from a lot of these companies to, to spend that money and not have to worry about that in the long term. Allen Hall: Yeah, I think the 20 26, 27, Joel would always say it’s 2027, but let’s just say 2027. If you have an [00:25:00] opportunity to buy a really hard and vested turbine or a new ing y, twin headed dragon and turbine, whatever, they’re gonna call this thing. I think they’re gonna stick to the European turbine. I really do. I think the lifetime matters here. And having security in the testing to show that it’s gonna live that long will make all the little difference to the insurance market, to the finance market. And they’re gonna force, uh, the developers’ hands that’s coming, Yolanda Padron: you know, developing of a project. Of course, we see so many projects and operations and everything. Um, but developing a project does take years to happen. So if you’re developing a project and you think, you know, this is great because I can have this project be developed and it will take me and it’ll be alive for a really long time and it’ll be great and I’ll, I’ll be able to, to see that it’s a different, it’s a different business case too, of how much money you’re going to bring into the [00:26:00]company by generating a lot more and a lot more time and having to spend less upfront in all of the permitting. Because if instead of having to develop two projects, I can just develop one and it’ll last as long as two projects, then. Do you really have your business case made for you? Especially if it’s just a 10 to 20% increase instead of a doubling of all of the costs and effort. Speaker 4: Australia’s wind farms are growing fast, but are your operations keeping up? Join us February 17th and 18th at Melbourne’s Poolman on the park for Wind Energy o and M Australia 2026, where you’ll connect with the experts solving real problems in maintenance asset management. And OEM relations. Walk away with practical strategies to cut costs and boost uptime that you can use the moment you’re back on site. Register now at W om a 2020 six.com. Wind Energy, o and m Australia is created [00:27:00] by Wind professionals for wind professionals. Because this industry needs solutions, not speeches, Allen Hall: I know Yolanda and I are preparing to go to Woma Wind Energy, o and m Australia, 2026 in February. Everybody’s getting their tickets and their plans made. If you haven’t done that, you need to go onto the website, woma WMA 2020 six.com and register to attend the event. There’s a, there’s only 250 tickets, Yolanda, that’s not a lot. We sold out last year. I think it’s gonna be hard to get a ticket here pretty soon. You want to be there because we’re gonna be talking about everything operations and trying to make turbines in Australia last longer with less cost. And Australians are very, um, adept at making things work. I’ve seen some of their magic up close. It’s quite impressive. Uh, so I’m gonna learn a lot this year. What are you looking forward to at Wilma 26? Yolanda. [00:28:00] Yolanda Padron: I think it’s going to be so exciting to have such a, a relatively small group compared to the different conferences, but even just the fact that it’s everybody talking to each other who’s seen so many different modes of failure and so many different environments, and just everybody coming together to talk solutions or to even just establish relationships for when that problem inevitably arises without having it. Having, I mean, something that I always have so much anxiety about whenever I go to conferences is just like getting bombarded by salespeople all the time, and so this is just going to be great Asset managers, engineers, having everybody in there and having everybody talking the same language and learning from each other, which will be very valuable. At least for me. Allen Hall: It’s always sharing. That’s what I enjoy. And it’s not even necessarily during some of the presentations and the round tables and the, [00:29:00] the panels as much as when you’re having coffee out in the break area or you’re going to dinner at night, or uh, meeting before everything starts in the morning. You just get to learn so much about the wind industry and where people are struggling, where they’re succeeding, how they dealt with some of these problems. That’s the way the industry gets stronger. We can’t all remain in our little foxholes, not looking upside, afraid to poke our head up and look around a little bit. We, we have to be talking to one another and understanding how others have attacked the same problem. And I always feel like once we do that, life gets a lot easier. I don’t know why we’re make it so hard and wind other industries like to talk to one another. We seem somehow close ourselves off. And uh, the one thing I’ve learned in Melbourne last year was. Australians are willing to describe how they have fixed these problems. And I’m just like dumbfounded. Like, wow, that was brilliant. You didn’t get to to Europe and talk about what’s going on [00:30:00] there. So the exchange of information is wonderful, and I know Yolanda, you’re gonna have a great time and so are everybody listening to this podcast. Go to Woma, WOMA 2020 six.com and register. It’s not that much money, but it is a great time and a wonderful learning experience. That wraps up another episode of the Uptime Wind Energy Podcast.

Welcome back to another episode of the EUVC Podcast, your trusted inside track on the people, deals, and dynamics shaping European venture.This week, Andreas Munk Holm is joined by Max Kufner, Co-Founder and CEO of again, and Jan Miczaika, Partner at HV Capital.again is one of those rare European deep-tech stories that blends academic brilliance, industrial execution, and venture pace. Born out of DTU, with roots at Stanford and MIT, again uses gas-eating microbes to turn CO₂ emissions into valuable chemicals and materials. In plain English: they take carbon that's already in the air (not the ground) and repurpose it into things we use every day, from plastics to fertilizers.Backed by HV Capital, GV, and a handful of top European and US investors, again is on a mission to decouple industrial growth from fossil carbon. But the conversation goes far beyond climate tech.Max and Jan unpack what it takes to build deep tech at venture speed, the reality of talent scarcity in Europe, the cultural differences between US and EU deep-tech ecosystems, and how to navigate board dynamics, milestone-based investing, and the journey to a Series B in a capital-intensive world.Whether you're a founder, investor, or LP curious about deep tech's reindustrialisation wave — this one's for you.Here what's covered:01:24 | again in one line — gas-eating microbes → chemicals (no oil out of the ground)02:53 | Why HV Capital backed again — climate upside and a chance to redefine European chemicals04:31 | Investor → founder pendulum — why Max went from Atlantic Labs partner back to operator06:20 | The serial founder advantage (and its hidden trap)10:17 | Building deep tech in Europe — talent constraints, optimism gaps, and moving early to the US15:30 | Multipolarity — global operations, risk appetite, and where to spend your time23:38 | Boardcraft — how to use your board (and avoid being over-managed)28:39 | On-air sparring — asset-heavy vs. platform-heavy business models33:17 | Prepping for Series B — risk, IRR, and the difference between validation and scale36:59 | Milestone-based investing in deep tech — bridges, binaries, and how to keep momentum43:12 | LPs and VCs — why deep tech is high-risk and high-alpha46:08 | Founder lessons — customer co-creation, speed, and building fast with scientists48:06 | Final reflections — Europe's industrial renewal through deep tech

Hvad gør jeg i morgen? I denne RÆSONs nye podcastserie stiller Philippa Rošić de mest presserende spørgsmål, der fylder hos ungdommen i dag og dykker ned i de emner, der betyder noget for vores alles fremtid. 90 pct. af 15-18 årige kunstig intelligens anvender ifølge en rapport fra Microsoft i skolen. Spørgsmålet er derfor ikke længere, om AI bliver en uundgåelig del af uddannelsessystemet, men hvordan vi skal anvende AI generative værktøjer i uddannelsessystemet samt hvordan vi sætter de fremtidige rammer for undervisning og læring. I panelet har vi besøg af: Anders Søgaard, professor i datalingvistik ved Københavns Universitet, hvor han forsker i kunstig intelligens, sprogmodeller og maskinlæring.

An article discusses a collaboration between DTU (Technical University of Denmark) and SAGA Space Architects concerning the development and research potential of underwater habitats, specifically the UHAB-3 model intended for use by ESA (European Space Agency) to train astronauts for missions like those to the moon. These habitats, showcased at the Digital Tech Summit, are designed to simulate the challenging, isolated conditions of space through extended stays underwater. DTU researchers anticipate contributing expertise in areas such as data processing, indoor climate control, and underwater communication to support research within the habitat and on its occupants. The text also highlights the relevance of this technology for defence and security applications, such as monitoring underwater areas or supporting personnel in inhospitable environments.Original article : https://www.compute.dtu.dk/newsarchive/2024/11/underwater-habitat-opens-new-opportunities-for-research-and-training#UnderwaterHabitats #DTU #SAGASpaceArchitects #UHAB3 #ESA #AstronautTraining #SpaceSimulation #DigitalTechSummit #DataProcessing #IndoorClimateControl #UnderwaterCommunication #DefenceAndSecurity #SpaceResearch #MoonMissions #TechnologyCollaboration

And subscribe to Rosemary Barnes' YouTube channel here. Have a question we can answer on the show? Email us! Bret Tollgaard: Bret, welcome back to the program. Thanks for having me. Appreciate it. Allen Hall: A lot has happened at Sunrez and you guys are the magic UV cure resin systems that everybody is using at the moment, but there's a bunch of new products that are coming out that I think a lot of operators and ISPs need to be aware of. One of 'em. Is a fill of material that looks great when you're trying to fix the leading edges, which are just mangled from all the dirt and debris and rain. It's not something you can just kind of smooth over very easily. And a lot of times operators spend a bunch of times sanding, grinding, trying to get it where they can apply some sort of liquidy coating to it, and it never really looks great and it's not really smooth. Bret Tollgaard: Sunrez has fixed that. We sure have. We've got a lot of customer feedback about some of the things that they'd like us to expand our UV cure portfolio on, and one of the big ones was leading edge protection. There's been a ton of different solutions and stuff used over the years. Some with success, some. Slightly less mild [00:01:00] success. Uh, and so we thought it was an opportunity kind of right for the picking. And so, uh, the chemist spent a reasonable amount of time trying to develop a highly filled, uh, UV curable resin system that will live up to all the abrasion, whether it's rain, uh, you know, particulates in the air, et cetera. And so we've undergone some really reasonable rain erosion testing thus far, and it's shown to be a pretty good result. And so it's been a slightly soft rollout as we really kind of finalize the formula in the system. But we really do think it's a product that the, uh, customers are gonna love, whether it's a pre impregnated, uh, fiberglass version, or potentially a, a putty version as well. Joel Saxum: I mean, the LEP market is, you're always hearing about new LEP, right? There's this LEP test, there's a whole conference devoted to leading edge erosion that. The DTU puts on, but it's because it's such a prevalent issue, right? Like. Alan and I in the field looking at reviewing blade damages for lightning and things. But we see all, all kinds of leading edge erosion. That is, it's crazy how annuity these turbines, some of these turbines are a [00:02:00] year, two, three years old, they're still in warranty and the leading edges look like they've been hit with a sandblaster. It's crazy. So the fact that you guys are working on something and what we really like, of course, about the UV cured products is that you get up there, you put it on, boom, you hit it with the uv. You come off the tower, you turn it back on. 'cause a lot of operators, and this is, this is where sun really shines. A lot of operators are always talking about downtime. Downtime. When we talk about installing strike tape, how long do I need to leave the turbine off before? Well, we've working on some solutions. We don't have to, uh, but. It's a, it's a very common thing and I really, what I really enjoy about what you said was customer feedback. So that means that you guys are in the market, you're trusted in the market, and people feel, feel good enough to come back to you and say, Hey, what about this? What about this? What about that? Bret Tollgaard: Yeah.

I denne episode af RumSnak har vi besøgt Teknologisk Institut i Tåstrup, hvor man dyrker mikroalger, der skal undersøges på Den Internationale Rumstation (ISS). Projektet går ud på at lave forsøg med en særlig stamme af Chlorella Vulgaris-alger i vægtløs tilstand i en såkaldt 'science shell', et simpelt mobillaboratorium, der netop i disse uger er på vej til ISS. Forsøget er en del af det ESA-finansierede projekt Sophonster, og involverer også Sophie's BioNutrients og Yuri Gravity. Anne Christine Hastrup fra TI fortæller om bioressourcer, og mikroalge-specialist Nikola Medic forklarer, hvordan mikroalgerne kan have potentiale inden for fødevarer, CO2-fangst, og meget mere. Selve eksperimentet er relativt enkelt. Det handler om at lade mikroalgerne vokse i den lille science shell i 20 dage, og bagefter se om vægtløsheden og strålingen i rummet lader til at have haft en indflydelse på væksten og på om der er kommet nogle interessante mutationer ud af prøven. I de korte rumnyheder fortæller vi om James Webb-observationer af det tidlige univers, og en mulig mission til Merkur. Lyt med

This week we welcome back Morten Handberg. The renowned Blade Whisperer from Wind Power LAB. In this eye-opening discussion, Morten reveals why modern blade designs are showing structural issues earlier than expected and what operators need to watch for to protect their turbines. Stay tuned. Welcome to Uptime Spotlight, shining Light on Wind Energy's brightest innovators. This is the Progress Powering tomorrow. Allen Hall: Morten, welcome back to the show. Morten Handberg: Thanks, Allen. It's great to be, be back again. Allen Hall: You are one of our most popular guests. You are the Blade Whisperer. And any time I'm at a trade show, people ask, how's Morten doing? How's the Blade Whisperer doing? Like, well, Morten's great. Morten's super busy, but Morten is great. And they want to have you back on. So here we are. We're back on again. And. The topic of today's discussion is about aerodynamic stresses that happen to blades, and we're seeing more problems with that than some of the quality issues. I think it's a combination of quality and aerodynamic issues. What is happening in the field right now with aerodynamic loading on some of these new, longer, more flexible blades? Morten Handberg: Well, it's, it's something that's been been happening over time. So if we look 10, 15 years back, then the blades were of course shorter. The and they were a lot stiffer than they were today. They were heavily reinforced and you could say maybe they were. They were under optimized that they had a lot more load capacity and that were then what they needed. And, and in, in process of the, in, in, as the blades have been become longer than the, then that buffer have gone away, so, because the, in order to build a logger blade, you had to reduce the the, the thickness of your laminates to avoid an overly, you know, bulky structure, but something that could harness the wind in a more efficient way So that leads to slender, thinner blades that are a lot softer. And we can see that in the natural frequency that the, that the flap wise and edge wise frequencies, they have kind of gone down. And that's because the blades become softer. And that also means that the way that the blade behaves with the wind direction means that the gravity loads are still a major, a major component, but Aeroelastic loading, which adds to shear and torsion loads, have become much more prominent loading conditions on the blades that we see today. Allen Hall: That's interesting. Yeah, obviously the blades are lighter than they ever been for the length. I remember being at DTU a year or so ago and looking at one of the first offshore wind blades that Vestas had made,

This week on Data in Biotech, we welcome Timothy Jenkins, the Head of Data Science and Associate Professor at DTU Bioengineering, a leading scientific community dedicated to advancing areas of biotechnology, food technology, and health through innovative teaching and research.  Timothy starts the conversation by walking us through his background and early career beginnings, from the first time he expressed interest in zoology and venomous snakes to now leading a research group focused on AI-guided drug discovery for snake antivenom. He and our host, Ross Katz, dive into one of DTU's most exciting recent publications about "de novo" designed proteins to neutralize lethal snake venom toxins.  Inspired by Nobel Prize winner David Baker's groundbreaking paper and in collaboration with the Baker Lab on computational design methodology, this project holds great promise in therapeutic discovery and drug development. Tim explains how computational protein design and protein structure prediction are revolutionizing his field, highlighting compelling examples and milestones from his research on antivenom. He also provides an overview of the process used to discover new antivenoms, including the sourcing of biological data, model training, and integration of experimental feedback. Finally, we get Tim's perspective on the future of AI-powered therapeutic discovery, and his take on the integration of quantum computing into protein design. Data in Biotech is a fortnightly podcast exploring how companies leverage data innovation in the life sciences.

This is the progress powering tomorrow. Allen Hall: Welcome to the Uptime Wind Energy Podcast. I'm your host, Alan Hall, and today we're discussing one of the most persistent challenges in the wind energy industry, beating edge erosion on the wind turbine blades. To discuss an innovative solution to this problem, we're joined by Dr. Lorenzo Micatelli, the Managing Director of Tech and Ops at Helicoid Industries. At Helicoid Industries, Lorenzo is spearheading the development of a groundbreaking technology that could significantly reduce leading edge erosion damage on wind turbine blades. Lorenzo. Welcome to the Uptime Wind Energy Podcast. Lorenzo Mencattelli: Thank you very much, Allen for having me. Allen Hall: So leading edge erosion is one of those top issues, and I first ran across your company at DTU, at the Leading Edge Erosion Conference, and all the experts all around the world were there. I think it was in February or March earlier this year. And I sat through all the presentations and then Helichord came up and gave a presentation, and I was astounded because I hadn't seen anything like this technology before. But first I want to talk about how big of a problem this is, and I think during that DTU conference we realized it's a couple percentage points of power loss for a lot of operators, and it's structural damage when leading edge erosion penetrates through the shell of a winter blade. That's a huge problem. Lorenzo Mencattelli: Yeah, exactly. So the, the, the small percentage power loss is often acceptable if you want, because it doesn't really force the operator to, to stop the blade and, and perform maintenance and repair. But when the erosion gets to the composite substrate and therefore the structural integrity of the blade is compromised, then it carries a whole lot of other issues. And, and then operations need to stop. Allen Hall: Yeah, and that's where you see all the repair work going on, particularly in the United States, in the middle of the United States, where leading edge erosion has penetrated to the shell, and the amount of time and effort of independent people. service providers going and fixing blades, leading edge erosion is a, is an industry upon its own. And it's a little shocking actually that your technology hasn't been used yet. I want to just describe it here in a second because the, right now in order to prevent leading edge erosion out of the OEMs, the manufacturer's equipment, you have to apply Plastic, basically plastic shells or rubberized plastic shells or put some sort of thick coating on to the blades, which is somewhat effective. I would say it's going to give you a couple of years of life, but there really hasn't been a true fix. Lorenzo Mencattelli: Yeah, so the, the focus indeed has been mainly on developing new solutions for the coating, right? That is applied on the, on the leading edge,

I denne episode skal vi høre om hvordan forskere og eksperter forholder sig til kunstig intelligens, når de skriver videnskabelige papers om AI.Hvilke emner og problemstillinger bliver udforsket i de videnskabelige artikler, som dataloger, matematikere ingeniører, softwareudviklere og andre eksperter skriver om machine learning, neurale netværk og andre slags kunstig intelligens?Er de utopiske? Er de dystopiske? Eller er de måske i virkeligheden fokuseret mere på konkrete anvendelser af AI, og mindre på kontroversielle fortolkninger af de mulige og spekulative konsekvenser, på godt og ondt?Professor Anders Kristian Munk fra DTU har sammen med en række kolleger undersøgt over 1,2 millioner uddrag fra artikler om algoritmer, og selvfølgelig brugt masser af digitale værktøjer til at udforske og kategorisere indholdt.I Siden Sidst skal det blandt andet handle om en ny nyhedsapp og et meget dyrt domænenavn…Lyt med

As the digital age transforms the energy landscape, the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and critical energy infrastructure could boost efficiency, resilience, and sustainability. To drive this innovation, Dublin-based EPRI Europe is launching AI-EFFECT, aimed at accelerating the development, testing, and validation of AI applications in the energy sector. AI-EFFECT brings together 19 leading European organisations spanning research institutions, energy operators, and academia: EPRI Europe, Maynooth University and IKIM (Ireland); INESC TEC, WATT-IS and CEVE (Portugal); DTU, Bornholms Energi & Forsyning and CDK (Denmark); Fraunhofer FIT, RWTH Aachen University and Hertie School (Germany); TUDelft and Tennet (Netherlands); IRTSX (France); DNV (Norway); EnliteAI (Austria); ENEL (Itay); and EDRD (Spain). The three-year project will develop four demonstrations across Europe - Denmark, the Netherlands, Portugal, and Germany - each addressing a distinct use case, including multi-energy systems, congestion management, energy efficiency, and DER (Distributed Energy Resources) integration. The aim of the project is to establish a European AI Testing and Experimentation Facility (TEF) for the energy sector, enabling development, testing, and validation at various stages. It will virtually connect existing European computer and lab facilities through a digital platform. "This project will create a unique digital platform that helps both the AI industry and energy utilities in Europe to work together to develop and use AI in the energy industry. By making energy systems smarter, more efficient, and more reliable, we're directly supporting decarbonisation efforts and advancing EPRI Europe's mission of driving innovation to ensure a cleaner, more resilient energy future," said Eamonn Lannoye, EPRI Europe managing director. AI-EFFECT's innovative digital platform will drive European collaboration by enabling secure data sharing, AI model development, testing and validation, and seamless integration with the EU data spaces framework. AI has broad energy applications including forecasting energy demand, network anomaly detection, simulation, and reporting automation. The AI-EFFECT platform will help ensure that these AI tools are tested securely before deployment on real-world systems, following European data-sharing rules. "As a global leader in the energy sector, we are extremely pleased to be part of the AI-EFFECT project, harnessing the power of artificial intelligence to facilitate the energy transition. We expect that this initiative will drive innovation and significantly enhance the efficiency and the intrinsic security of energy systems across Europe. Enel is actively sharing its global expertise and real-life scenarios, aiming to improve the quality of life through increasingly innovative and responsible energy solutions," said Gianni Vittorio Armani, head of Enel grids and Innovability. AI-EFFECT aims to position Europe at the forefront of AI integration in the energy sector, offering a robust, secure, and scalable platform to foster innovation through research, demonstration, and collaboration. The project will also address key regulatory challenges, including compliance with the EU AI Act, ensuring AI systems for energy are transparent, secure, reliable, and interpretable. AI-EFFECT will run until September 2027 and is funded by the European Union's Horizon Europe programme, under agreement no. 101172952.

I denne RumSnak LIVE fejrer vi 10-års jubilæet for SWARM-missionen, der med tre satellitter i kredsløb om kloden har kortlagt Jordens magnetfelt i stor detaljegrad. Og jordens magnetfelt er ikke “bare” genstand for vores videnskabelige nysgerrighed, det er også et fænomen der spiller en kolossal rolle for klodens liv og vores moderne samfund. Magnetfeltet fungerer nemlig som et usynligt skjold, der beskytter os mod farlig stråling og ladede partikler fra rummet. SWARM-missionen er en konstellation af 3 satellitter som befinder sig i omløb om Jorden. De blev opsendt fra Rusland tilbage den i november 2013, og har i de forgangne 10 års tid lavet massevis af målinger og samlet tonsvis af data om Jordens magnetfelt. Til at forklare hvordan magnetfeltet er blevet dannet og hvordan det udvikler sig har vi besøg af professor Nils Olsen fra DTU Space, Mission Manager Anja Strømme fra ESA, og endelig Sussi Bech og Ingo Milton, der sammen med Jens Olaf Pepke Pedersen har lavet tegneserien “Ørsted: Han satte strøm til verden”, som handler om HC Ørsted og hans opdagelse af elektromagnetismen, der jo er en klar milepæl på vejen der har ført til Swarm og kortlægningen af Jordens magnetfelt.

I'm Allen Hall, and I'm in San Diego, warm San Diego with at ACP OM&S and I'm here with Anders Røpke, who is this founding partner and CEO of Wind Power LAB based in Copenhagen, Denmark. Welcome to the show. Anders Røpke: Thank for the invitation. Allen Hall: So we're gonna have a really technical discussion, but a really timely discussion. Yeah, about rain erosion and rain erosion testing. I was just over in Denmark, went to DTU, saw the Leading Edge Erosion Conference. Fascinated, great speakers, a lot of great data. One of the main discussion points was when you run a rain erosion test on a particular coating for a wind turbine, there's a lot of variability. And the holy grail is to get what they call a V N curve for a coating. That's the velocity versus the number of impacts. You should be able to draw roughly a straight line. Okay. When I was over at Copenhagen, and watching all this go on, there's a lot of slides up about V in curves where the V in curve was up and down. The tilt of it was all over the place. When they had done testing at different rain erosion facilities, or had tested in the same erosion facility on the same kind of sample. Getting what they thought was a different result. Now, that seems to be driven by in part, the human element. Exactly. Everything about that test is pretty well controlled and the people at R&D test systems, which designed those rain erosion rigs have made a really nice machine. Let's just be honest. It's a really good machine. But as when PowerLab is determining, the issue is looking at the photos of the damage and then saying, Oh, here's where damage starts. And this is how it propagates. That's a human element problem that's added to this very technical decision making. We're making errors there. And that's where Wind Power LAB comes in. And at Wind Power LAB, you guys are blade experts, right? Anders Røpke: We are blade experts. So we are actually coming from the field observation side, if you like. So we see the products when they fail. Sorry to bring the bad news, but we see leading edge erosion out there still, even though we have big LEP campaigns. Yeah. And one thing is the application, it's a hard environment to turn out offshore, for instance. But we also see coatings fail earlier than anticipated. And the long term effect is a lot of unnecessary cost for these wind farm owners. Because then they're looking into yet one more LEP campaign. Through the end of, before the end of life of this wind farm. That's extremely expensive. Onshore, but it's maybe 20 times more expensive offshore. It is. So if we should fix this. We should. We should. Then why don't we try to test our products a little bit better? And that's where the Leading Edge Erosion Symposium you visited. ...

I'm your host, Allen Hall, and I am in Roskilde, Denmark, with the folks from DTU and R&D Test Systems, because we have a brand new rain erosion facility. And I've just been attending the 5th Symposium on Leading Edge Erosion this week, and there's been a tremendous amount of new technical knowledge and test results and computational efforts going on across the world. And it's time to talk about the real issues. rubber hit the road part, which is the rain erosion testing. And I have here today, Nicolai Johansen with DTU the Risø campus, which is the wind energy and energy system. Energy systems department. Yes, we just had a magnificent tour of the facility, and there's some amazing pieces here. I didn't realize what kind of technology DTU has. It's astounding. It's quite nice. It's better than anything I've seen in the United States. You should be proud of it. It's really nice. And this is one of those new facilities that has been built by Jesper Dal Hasager, who is with R&D Test Systems. So welcome to the podcast. Thank you. Thank you. This is impressive. So I, we have talked to R&D Test Systems in the past about a lot of different things, one of them, rain erosion test facilities, that this is a kind of a standard thing that R&D Test Systems does. because there's such a big demand for it. Jesper Dal Hasager: Exactly. Allen Hall: And I haven't seen this up close, but seeing it up here now, this is amazing. This is a really nice setup. Thought out. And this setup is the most advanced one in the world at the moment. Exactly. So you want to describe what makes this the most advanced main erosion test facility? Jesper Dal Hasager: Yeah, first of all the test chamber is larger than normal. One belt. It's we normally either we deliver the system within two containers. Allen Hall: Okay. Jesper Dal Hasager: Two 20 feet containers, high cube containers. Or we can deliver it into a building so we can integrate it in a customer building Sure. Solution if they want to have a building instead of this modular. But then we have thought of a lot of these containers. It's not, that's nice to look at this container, but still a building is very expensive for It's yes. For our customer to build themselves. Sure. So we designed a middle way in this one. Where we have this steel structure that we have welded in our workshop in Hinderup and, yeah. And then we have mounted these sandwich panels with 80 millimeters insulation. Allen Hall: Yes, it's quite warm in here. Yeah, exactly. It feels good. It's because it's cold outside. Jesper Dal Hasager: Yeah, exactly. So that should both cope for the temperature and for sound dampening. Yes. Because it's a very loud machine when it's beginning to turn around. Allen Hall: That's very smart design because I think a lot of people wouldn't think about those design details of just the day to day operation.

Men for hvem?'. I denne udgave af Politikens weekendpodcast kan du høre to af seriens artikler.Først et interview med den 24-årige Astrid Siemens Lorenzen, der udover at læse på DTU, er kørestolsbruger:Dernæst er det Helene Navnes personlige essay om at være mor til en 15-årig ung mand, der sidder i kørestol og deres møder med byen--------- Link: Alle seriens artikler er samlet på denne side, hvor du også kan høre dem læst op-------- Og husk: Artiklerne er bare et lille udvalg af de mange artikler, vi har læst op, og som kan høres direkte i Politikens podcast-app, så snart de udkommer. Her kan du også sammensætte din egen playliste og tage artiklerne med på farten. Det kræver blot, at du er Politiken-abonnent. Og det kan du nemt blive ved at gå ind på politiken.dk/shop

And we are in Roskilde, Denmark at the 5th International Symposium on Leading Edge Erosion and Wind Turbine Blades. And I'm here with Nicholas Gaudern of PowerCurve and Rodolfo Meleiro of Arthwind. So we have a world perspective here on leading edge erosion. We have Europe. Brazil, which is a lot of wind energy there. Thank you for being here and I'll try to cover the America as best I can. So this has been a really interesting conference. It's held at DTU which is, this is a wind energy center. So this conference has been organized and it has international flavor to it. We saw presentations from India, Denmark, obviously there were German. Yeah. Presentations, Japan, China u. S. Sandia has been here. So there's a paper from Cornell today. So there's been all sorts of people worried about leading edge erosion. And I think it's a really hot topic. And that's the reason why I came to, to see the action here, because there's. So much that we don't know. And I figured if anybody does know it's a DTU, so it's time to get over there and to find out what's going on. So this whole podcast is really to discuss what we have seen and heard and try to figure out what the state of the industry is and where it needs to go. And just first impressions, really One of my first impressions, I'll just start. One of my first impressions was we have a long way to go. Yes, that we don't know a lot. Yeah, and I wish I had been shocked so far So we're at the end of day two and day one was pretty intensive on this or the mathematical Computational side. Nicholas Gaudern: We don't know a lot. We've had a lot more materials as well today So I think it's nice that we have that really cross disciplinary approach here. So we've got materials. We've got structures. We've got data We've got metrology, meteorology, aerodynamics So it is bringing all of these expert field together which I think is really important. There's also the risk that there's a lot of noise, because obviously there's issues to be resolved in all of these different fields. And then, it may make it a little bit harder to focus on what really matters I think. Allen Hall: There's a lot of data smoothing that's happening at the minute, from what I can tell, and different approaches to data smoothing, and I'm not even sure. Everybody has settled on that. Nicholas Gaudern: No, and I think we had like a discussion at the end of the day yesterday, like a shouting across the lecture theatre kind of discussion at the end of the sessions. And I think what was clear is there is more of a consensus about the AEP losses that we're seeing, which is important. And that's really helpful because I think if you start seeing big scary numbers 15, losses, sure, those might exist in a very extreme scenario on a very particular type of turbine, but I really want to make the point here that is not the norm at all. We wouldn't have an industry if 20 percent AEP eve...
