New challenges, new solutions

Blue Sky

Offshore wind has gained a firm foothold in the energy transition. More regions are looking at the possibilities of using offshore wind as a means to achieve their sustainability goals. The growing interest in offshore wind within these regions is creating new opportunities for the industry.

However, these new opportunities are also accompanied by new challenges. The application of wind energy in new regions brings different site conditions that change the design of wind farms. Complex seabed composition or large water depths have led to the necessary developments of floating structures.

These new developments within offshore wind bring with them different operational necessities that require thinking about Service and Operations of floating wind. Taking the new challenges into account, a process was initiated whereby the new challenges underlie a solution that considers the new needs.
