Vital improvements to offshore wind turbines which could help them generate more electricity are being realised as part of a major collaboration between academia and industry.
The £7.7 million partnership between the Universities of Hull, Durham and Sheffield and two global energy companies with a huge presence on the Humber - Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy and Ørsted - is now seeing results.
One emerging example is from a team of researchers in Hull’s School of Engineering, who have developed methods to monitor the manufacture of wind turbine blades to improve quality and reduce waste.
