Measuring the effects of Marine Growth on offshore wind turbine efficiency and identifying mitigation strategies

  • Project Year: 2025-26
  • Departments Represented: MEng
  • Industry/Track: Energy & Environment

The project aims to quantify the impact of biofouling on hydrodynamics and structural integrity on Principle Power’s offshore wind turbine platform. Additionally, it will involve the development of a parametric software tool that allows platform designers to access site-specific fouling load data within seconds.
