ZF Wind Power is a worldwide leading technology-driven manufacturer and service partner in the global wind turbine gearbox industry. The company is leading the high-performance onshore segments with products up to 8000 kNm and first in exceeding 200 Nm/kg torque density in compact modular platform designs. ZF delivered the world’s first offshore 9.5 MW wind turbine gearbox and delivered, in close cooperation with its partner, the first prototypes of the next generation offshore powertrains. The company has the largest global installed capacity of +8 MW offshore wind turbine gearboxes. Since they entered the wind industry in 1979, ZF Wind Power has delivered more than 80 000 gearboxes, powering as much as 180 GW (mainly high-performance) wind turbines, covering almost 25 percent of the total installed capacity of geared-driven wind turbines worldwide. Together with its partners, the company constantly invests in the wind market to empower a sustainable future.
The Belgian Offshore Platform (BOP) is a non-profit association of investors and owners of wind farms in the Belgian part of the North Sea. The BOP was founded in 2011 to advocate the development of wind energy in the Belgian waters of the North Sea. Offshore wind energy in the Belgian North Sea amounts today to an installed capacity of 2,262 MW. This can generate an average of 8 TWh of green electricity per year, which is about 10% of the total electricity demand in Belgium. By 2030, the offshore wind capacity in the North Sea will continue to grow to 6-8 GW, which will cover about 30% of the electricity demand with wind energy in the Belgian North Sea.

The Coastal & Ocean Basin (COB), located in Oostende, Belgium, is designed to study the effect of waves and currents on coastal and offshore structures, the generation of freak waves and the hydrodynamic and structural behaviour of devices for marine renewable energy. With basin dimensions of 30 m x 30 m, a variable water depth up to 1.4m and wave-current interaction in any relative direction, the infrastructure offers excellent test conditions for coastal to near offshore applications related to coastal defence plans, offshore/floating structures and renewable energy technologies. A central pit of up to 4 m deep allows for testing of mooring applications as well. The COB welcomes users from academia, industry and governmental institutions.
For over 20 years, e-BO Enterprises has been a leading IT and OT partner focusing on industry and organizations that want to optimize their daily IT operations. We care about delivering trust for your critical business, and especially wind energy, making our planet a cooler place to live.
