Floating Wind Solutions Conference and Exhibition 2025
2025-01-15 - 2025-01-17
FWS ’25 will be held on January 15-17, 2025 at the Marriott Marquis Houston.
Registration is now open, as is the call for abstracts. The deadline for abstract submission is August 1, 2024.
Floating Wind Solutions, held annually in Houston, is the ultimate opportunity for those who are presently involved in or seeking entry into floating wind. FWS facilitates network opportunities with the right experienced people while gaining knowledge of the technical solutions available and supply chain innovations on demand. Floating Wind Solutions’ mission is to utilize this platform to bring together the many critical players within the wind and offshore industries enabling accelerated adoption of Floating Wind Energy globally. This premier event’s primary goal is to accelerate the Energy Transition, by focusing on the industrialization and commercialization of Floating Wind Energy. A world class Advisory Board ensures that the program maintains its sharp focus on the principles of the mission.
Exceptional growth in the harvesting of Floating Wind Energy will be reliant upon the technology and experience of companies historically focused on the offshore Supply Chain. With few exceptions, these companies are the only ones who have ever designed, constructed or installed permanently moored structures of any kind. In addition, traditional Major Offshore Energy Operators are leading investors, developers and operators of Floating Wind Energy Projects.

A013 – Observational and Modeling Studies for Improved Wind Energy Characterization & Forecasting

Abstract: Installations of offshore and land-based wind farms are projected to increase in the coming years as the economy transitions towards renewable energy. Accurately forecasting rotor-region winds is crucial for this transition. Despite significant progress, models struggle to accurately simulate rotor-region winds due to various reasons. These factors include surface characterization (including wind-wave-ocean coupling or soil moisture), atmospheric boundary-layer turbulence, changing stability conditions, clouds, precipitation, extreme weather, and wind turbine wake effects. This session will focus on characterizing and reducing uncertainties in rotor-region wind forecasts through observations, model simulations and AI-based techniques. We especially welcome observational studies stemming from targeted large field campaigns (e.g. WFIP3, AWAKEN, X-WAKES, WIPAFF etc.) or smaller experiments. Modeling studies focused on improving the understanding of processes modulating rotor-region winds, or improving wind farm parameterizations for weather models are also welcome.

Conveners: Arka Mitra, Anthony Kirincich, David D Turner, Julie K Lundquist, Ulrike Egerer

Seminar - Geologic H2: A New Primary Energy Source for the Transition to Clean Energy?
2024-09-17 12:00 - 13:20
The Rutgers School of Engineering’s Department of Materials Science and Engineering invites you to join them for their upcoming seminar “Geologic H2: A New Primary Energy Source for the Transition to Clean Energy?” with special guest Dr. Douglas Wicks, Program Director of the Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E).
The seminar will be held on Tuesday, September 17 at 12:00 to 1:20pm at the McLaren Center for Ceramic Research, 607 Taylor Road, Room 201, Piscataway, NJ 08854.

Dr. Douglas Wicks
Program Director
Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E)
Abstract
Hydrogen is viewed by many as a key component of the transition to clean carbon-free energy. The International Energy Agency forecasts that 520 million tons hydrogen from natural gas + carbon capture (so-called “Blue Hydrogen”) and the electrolysis of water (“Green Hydrogen”) will be needed by 2050 to attain climate targets. This represents a > 5-fold increase from current hydrogen production and use. Both routes have significant challenges – blue hydrogen will have fugitive methane releases and need to store gigatons of CO2, green hydrogen requires large expenditures for renewable energy and critical minerals.
Meanwhile, beneath our feet, the earth has been continuously generating hydrogen and for the most part mankind did not pay attention to what was right in front of us. This hydrogen is continuously formed by known chemical reactions in the subsurface, sometimes accumulating into reservoirs, sometimes being consumed by parasitic reactions and sometimes seeping into the atmosphere. The chemical potential to form hydrogen is huge, theorized to be in the trillions of tons. Economically harnessing the chemical potential of the earth could be transformational to the US and global economies.
