Motherships, robots and 40-rotor turbines – how offshore wind could look by 2050
An explosion of innovation in the UK will see an army of autonomous robots service giant wind turbines with tens of rotors, while parachute-shaped kites will transform how we think about wind turbines.
And offshore wind could become the backbone of the country’s energy mix within 12 years, with pioneering designs and storage technology potentially seeing a third of the UK’s electricity demand met by offshore wind. These predictions are based on work currently underway at the Offshore Renewable Energy (ORE) Catapult.
