We had the pleasure of hosting a brilliant team of researchers from Cranfield University, led by Dr. Luofeng Huang and Dr. Burak Cerik, who are at the forefront of developing cutting-edge floating solar and wind energy systems solutions on 14th September 2024. 

Their presentations covered a range of impactful topics, including: 

  • Optimisation of mooring systems and cable design for floating energy platforms 
  • Fluid-structure interaction in floating solar panels 
  • Experimental, numerical, and on-site testing methods used in their designs 

At Tadek, innovation and advancement in the renewable energy sector are at the heart of what we do. This collaboration with Cranfield University is a significant step forward in tackling the engineering challenges associated with renewable energy systems. We’re excited about the opportunities ahead as we work together to push the boundaries of sustainable energy solutions. 

A special thanks to Dr. Luofeng Huang, Dr. Burak Cerik, Aditya Nair, Chenhao Mi, and Binjian Ou for visiting our offices. We’re eager to continue this partnership and explore new avenues for growth. 

Stay tuned for updates on this exciting collaboration!
