Met-masts help turbines make the most of wind conditions offshore
The met-masts will gather weather data to help ensure that the wind turbines at the 9GW development – the largest offshore zone ever awarded – are designed and orientated to maximise its power generating capacity.
Atkins will begin by carrying out the conceptual appraisal for the met-mast sub-structures, which will be located in water depths of 22-25 metres, before performing the detailed design for the foundation and topsides.
“Met-masts provide valuable information for characterising the long-term environmental conditions and wind resource that inform the economic viability of a wind project,” says
