Groundbreaking innovation is blowing through the UK's green energy sector. Renewable Energy Magazine reports the unlikely alignment between AI and wind thanks to a new partnership between two offshore wind developers.
BlueFloat Energy and Nadara's partnership marks the first time an offshore wind developer has deployed a new AI-powered safety and assurance platform, known as WindSafe. The digital technology company, Fennex, created WindSafe to help ease the challenges of managing offshore wind environments.
Unfortunately, supply chain bottlenecks, approval process delays, and even lawsuits have presented logistical challenges in the industry, according to The Conversation.
With this cloud system, teams can transition from reactive processes to proactive risk management, leveraging real-time intelligence and data.
Nassima Brown, Director at Fennex, told Renewable Energy Magazine, "This collaboration marks a defining moment, not only for Fennex, but for how the offshore wind sector approaches safety in the digital era."
The rapid development of AI has been controversial, in part due to its impact on the electrical grid and poor water conservation, as reported by MIT. However, its role in WindSafe may offset some of that by making offshore wind energy growth more efficient.
Stay warm all winter long with the Apple of intelligent space heaters Kelvin is the Apple of space heaters, designed for energy efficiency and maximum comfort. It's completely silent and intelligently controlled, with setup taking just 5 minutes. Built from premium materials like aluminum and glass, Kelvin works beautifully as a full-home heating system or as the perfect solution for that one room that never feels warm enough. |
After all, wind, also known as eolic energy, is a renewable and inexhaustible resource that creates electricity as wind turbines move. There are no dirty fuels or resulting pollution involved.
Another UK partnership to create the world's largest wind farm will have 277 turbines powering over six million homes. Taiwan's Hai Long Offshore Wind Project has already begun delivering electricity to its grid.
Offshore wind investment saves land space, thus preserving native vegetation and animal habitats. With no dirty fuel expenses and more advanced technology like WindSafe, wind power can continue to reduce energy costs.
Wind farms also help local economies with more jobs. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, the wind industry has created over 100,000 American jobs to date. Having more localized energy sources creates more stability and independence, especially for rural communities and small towns.

In addition to wind, offshore innovators are harnessing the power of ocean waves as solar continues to expand. For those interested in slashing energy bills and pollution at home, free resources like EnergySage are helping them receive vetted quotes and save thousands on solar installation costs.
All in all, the continued growth of major energy farm projects and other clean technologies reduces and may one day eliminate the need for climate-heating dirty fuels. Without constant polluting exhaust and its associated respiratory and cardiac health problems, a safer and cleaner future is possible.
