Developing an Autonomous Control System for BRIZO’s Tension Buoy: From the Classroom to Real-World Technology Development
Fred. Olsen 1848's BRIZO floating solar technology has achieved third-party verification from DNV. This milestone enhances its bankability and deployment potential, enabling deployment in challenging nearshore and wave-prone environments.
As floating offshore wind turbines scale beyond 15 MW, traditional design methods face growing challenges due to complex dynamics and increased structural loads. It is necessary to reevaluate the conventional design methods, and to adopt innovative approaches to effectively address the challenges.
Our BRIZO pilot project in Risør, Norway, recently underwent an important technical upgrade where all floating modules were replaced with newly designed, blow-molded versions.
The pilot site in Risør serves as a dynamic testing ground, where we bring our engineering concepts to life through real-world implementation. But what does a day replacing all floating modules at our BRIZO site look like
Fred. Olsen 1848 is pleased to announce that BRUNEL Floating Foundation, a leading initiative in the floating offshore wind market, has completed its comprehensive basic design phase according to DNV’s recently updated certification scheme for floating wind, DNV-SE-0422, and was subsequently awarded a DNV Basic Design Certification as one of few foundation designs in the industry.
Fred. Olsen 1848 welcomes Per Arvid Holth as its new CEO. Per has since 2022 held the position as Chief Project Officer in Fred. Olsen 1848 developing the company’s projects in floating solar and floating wind. He brings along extensive knowledge from various Fred. Olsen-related companies, joining Fred. Olsen Energy from DNV in 2012, Fred. Olsen Windcarrier in 2019 and later Fred. Olsen Ocean
