​​Industry Innovation: Originating on the Tyne

Leading researchers and energy sector businesses have joined forces to power pioneering new research in the North East.

Wind farm data provided by industry giant Equinor means that energy specialists at Durham and Newcastle Universities, and at world-leading research facility, the Offshore Renewable Energy Catapult, are able to model innovations that could change the industry worldwide – including full energy systems integration and predictive maintenance of offshore equipment.

It’s a powerful partnership.

“This is a great example of what can be achieved by combining our regional digital expertise and asset base with the aim of bringing real value to the industry.”

TONY QUINN,
TEST FACILITIES DIRECTOR AT ORE CATAPULT.

“This partnership supports our ambitions to collaborate with the North East offshore wind cluster where we will operate our flagship Dogger Bank project.”

TOM NIGHTINGALE,
NORTH EAST STAKEHOLDER MANAGER FOR EQUINOR.
