Sarens in Spain is proud to be the tractor partner of the groundbreaking SOMOS 2024 Consortium (Ref.: 59\/561713.9\/24 for the Contest \u201cSustainability and Modularity for Innovative Solutions in Offshore Wind Energy\u201d included in the grants for contributing the improvement of public-private cooperation in R&D&I through consortium projects with a driving effect), co-financed by the Community of Madrid – Vice Presidency, Department of Education and Universities, along with the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) under the European Commission\u2019s operational program.<\/strong><\/p>\n

With a budget of 4.583.535,18\u20ac and a duration of three years, SOMOS aims to develop an unprecedented modular and containerisable floating hull solution. This innovation is based on the concept of Modular Stackable Pontoons (MSP) and will be applied across three Esteyco\u2019s pioneering technologies with immense potential in offshore wind energy: ATOMS (Attachable O&M System), TIM (Transport & Installation Module) and AIRBARGE (currently on execution with Sarens Modular Barges at DEMOWHEEL 6 MW Esteyco\u2019s prototype in Canary Islands).<\/p>\n

Additionally, SOMOS will focus on advanced remote monitoring systems and intelligent adaptive control technologies, further enhancing the efficiency and sustainability of offshore structures.<\/p>\n

To bring this ambitious project to life, a consortium has been formed, bringing together key industry players and experts in various fields: Sarens \u2013 A global leader in heavy lifting, engineered transport, and crane rental servicesl Esteyco \u2013 A renowned civil engineering and architectural consultancy and the developer of the SOMOS technological solutions; Azimutal \u2013 A company specializing in sensorisation, monitoring, and control systems; Dhamma Blue \u2013 A startup leading the green revolution in the maritime industry; Beskar Forge: A startup specialized in virtualization, computing, and communications.<\/p>\n

The Technical University of Madrid will also play a crucial role by conducting numerical simulations and experimental modeling through its Hydrodynamic Testing Channel at the School of Naval Engineering.<\/p>\n

The ultimate goal of the SOMOS project is to revolutionise offshore wind energy, significantly reducing costs and making this renewable source more accessible. This initiative not only seeks to drive clean and sustainable energy but also aims to establish offshore wind power as the leading energy solution of the future.<\/p>\n

By pushing the boundaries of innovation and sustainability, Sarens and its partners are paving the way for a greener and more cost-effective energy landscape.<\/p>\n

The future of energy is here \u2013 and it\u2019s offshore wind!<\/p>\n
