If that occurs, testing would begin later this quarter at a facility operated in South Carolina by the Clemson University Restoration Institute. Commissioned last November, it has two testing bays for wind turbine drivetrains for up to 7.5MW and 15MW, respectively.
“It gives us the opportunity to test, commission and fine tune the turbine on land and make any adjustments that may be required before installation in the ocean,” says Paul Gallagher, chief operating officer at Fishermen’s.
