SgurrEnergy has been appointed by Huaneng Renewables Corp Ltd to undertake technical offshore wind energy research assessing the general site conditions of offshore wind projects in China.
The new research will be conducted in partnership with Beijing-based Tsinghua University. The study will explore wake model parameters aiming to improve wake model performance during the pre-construction assessment phase of wind farm projects and examine site conditions and their impact on wind turbine performance and availability. The results of the research will allow developers to choose more suitable site locations and, as a result, improve overall wind farm performance.
