Funding opportunities – Offshore Wind Innovation Hub

Turbines

Developing the next generation of offshore wind turbines, incorporating all the technology that forms the structural and operational elements of the wind turbine generator.

Substructures

Innovations in fixed-bottom wind turbine foundations and substructures, including transition pieces.

Floating Wind

Innovations and processes required to enable cost competitive, commercial-scale floating offshore wind projects; many of which are situated in far from shore locations.

Electrical Infrastructure

Moving to next generation electrical infrastructure including array cabling, power transmission, grid integration (storage & smart energy systems) and substations, both onshore & offshore.

O&M and Windfarm Lifecycle

Optimising and future-proofing all services associated with offshore wind, including site development, installation, wind farm O&M, condition monitoring, and decommissioning.
