Driven by Experience.​​
We have improved and optimized a large number of projects in close collaboration with our satisfied clients and partners, to constantly develop structures, technologies, and concepts. Our expertise and engineering services range from concept development for initial project phases and feasibility studies to final designs and monitoring of realized projects.
Our extensive experience contributes to standardization and research projects in which Blue C is involved.

Practice Recommendation
DNV-RP-0584
In a joint industrial project (JIP), the world's first practical recommen-
dation for floating solar power plants was developed. The
Recommended Practice (RP), which is the result of the participation of
DNV and 24 industry participants (including Blue C GmbH), contains
technical requirements and guidance for the development, reliable and sustainable design, operation and decommissioning of floating photovoltaic (FPV) projects.
The Best Practice Guide was developed to ensure harmonized and high quality approaches in the development of floating solar energy projects. The focus here is on the assessment of the site condition, the energy yield forecast, anchoring systems, floating structures as well as permits and environmental impacts. The RP has been kept as technology neutral as possible to provide functional requirements and guidelines.

Floating Photovoltaic
​​
We have been involved in a number of realized projects of different scale. Our accomplishments here included the determination of the directional wind and wave loading for local conditions, simulating of the dynamic load effects and the structural movements for anchoring variants and anchor arrangements, modeling and evaluation of the FPV system movements and shifts as well as the load distribution in the anchors for high and low water levels​, dimensioning and design of the anchoring components based on load effects and load combinations according to valid standards.

Aquaculture
​
We have been involved in projects with a wide range of applications. Our accomplishments here included the development of offshore seaweed farms​, simulating of the movement and loads of offshore seaweed farms​ and the design of all relevant system components such as seaweed, mooring, anchor and buoyancy devices.
