Presentation: Joule Challenge - Composite Towers for next generation floating offshore wind turbines

Weight is now seen as an important driver in offshore floating wind with the floater having a significant impact to levelised cost of energy. On top of that, the same size turbine attached to a floating structure creates several new design issues. Leveraging Composite Towers from Floaters to Blade Tips is seen as the solution to the Joule Challenge that will enable the UK plans for Offshore Wind energy generation!

Dr. Sergio Minera spoke on behalf of UK CATAPULT - Offshore Renewable Energy about this topic at last year´s Wind Turbine Towers conference. Here you can read his exciting presentation anew.
