Technical Presentation: Concept Optimisation of a Deep-Water Fixed-Bottom Offshore Wind Farm
About this event
Lee Goulding, Technical Director of Thistle Wind Partners, presents the company’s structured approach to choosing the optimum development concept for a deep-water fixed-bottom offshore wind farm such as Bowdun. The talk covers how electrical configuration, substructure and foundation types, and turbine sizes are weighed against safety, environmental, technical, supply chain and economic considerations across construction, operation and decommissioning.
The presentation is held alongside the branch’s AGM.
