A comprehensive and detailed look at offshore wind
The offshore wind industry is undergoing a period of massive growth.
It took 30 years to reach 35GW installed. By 2030, it is targeted there will be 380GW of Offshore Wind Farms in the water.
Leading energy organisations have pledged to working towards 2,000GW of offshore capacity.
The pace and scale of what is planned is mind-boggling. How can we collectively achieve these lofty goals? In this guide, we’ve assembled insights from the Empire Engineering team in conjunction with experts from around the industry.
We share what we have learnt about offshore design over the years as well as highlighting the scale of the technical challenge we’re collectively facing as an industry.
We examine the technical developments facing foundation designers with the shift from shallower to deeper waters and the large-scale adoption of floating wind foundations.
Discover the factors that go into design considerations, the evolution of design over time, the impact of technology as well as valuable insight into the bigger picture of the health of the global supply chain.
Our aim is to spark further debate, give oversight of the opportunities that lie ahead and illuminate the problem solving skills that are going to make a real difference.
