BEIS is considering procuring work under Phase 2 of the ‘UK Manufacturing Technology for Next Generation Wind Turbines’, to further explore incorporating radically new composite-based components and lightweight designs in 20MW+ offshore wind turbines.
Scope of Phase 2 would build on the feasibility studies carried out by the Offshore Wind Energy Catapult (OREC) and the National Composites Centre (NCC) in Phase 1:
-Develop a turbine design architecture to assess and prioritise the value of replacing components with alternatives using advanced composite materials and manufacturing techniques
-Engage with the UK based supply chain to identify barriers and develop solutions in design and manufacturing to deliver in a UK context
-Integrate the findings and produce a business case containing evidence on the value of undertaking work in a potential Phase 3
