Europe’s offshore wind sector is facing growing complexity as tender designs evolve, new technologies emerge and projects move into more challenging locations. At the same time, environmental impacts and social acceptance are becoming increasingly important. A comprehensive and standardised evaluation system that brings these factors together is currently lacking. The WindSCORE research project, launched in December 2025, aims to address this gap by developing a scientifically based 360-degree evaluation toolbox for offshore wind projects over the next three years. The system is intended to support investors, authorities and other stakeholders by combining economic, technical, sustainability-related and social criteria into a single assessment framework.

RUD has presented neXera, an electric hoist developed for maintenance operations on wind turbines. The system is designed for lifting applications at hub heights of up to 200 metres, for both onshore and offshore turbines. The hoist supports loads of up to 800 kg and operates at variable lifting speeds between 24 and 80 metres per minute.

Quali Drone, working with offshore wind developer and operator RWE and several partners, has demonstrated autonomous drone inspections of offshore wind turbine blades while the turbines remained in operation. The work was carried out under the AQUADA-GO project, which focuses on automated, contact-free and real-time detection of blade damage using drones. By inspecting blades without stopping turbine operation, the approach aims to reduce downtime. The partners have now completed the first successful offshore demonstration of this inspection concept.
