Data and Digitalisation: Cross Sector Lessons for Offshore Wind

Qualitative industrial research carried out on the topics of data integration, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and cyber security.

The research involves a combination of surveys, a literature review and roundtable discussions with specialists from a range of diverse sectors and industries. The goal of the research is to identify lessons and good practice from other, more mature, industries and map these to the offshore wind sector.


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.

Turbines

Substructures

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

Substructures

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.

Floating Wind

Electrical Infrastructure

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