Is floating wind's quest for perfection holding it back?
Quest for ‘perfect’ floating wind design may be less important than securing supply chain and delivery partners, Global Offshore Wind conference hears
A continuous conveyer belt of new platform designs may be doing more harm than good for floating wind, said a panel at RenewableUK’s Global Offshore Wind event, as its members debated if standardisation will come through painless alignment or a “tooth and claw” fight between OEMs.
A recent survey revealed that standardisation is the chief concern of European stakeholders in the floating wind as the industry struggles to get out of the starting blocks and begin deploying at scale.
