With each evolution of turbine technology, the trend is clear. Bigger turbine with bigger blades, bigger capacity and ultimately a bigger commercial benefit. However, there may come a point when going bigger isn’t commercially or economically viable and although it’s unclear when this might happen, it inspires some..

Turbine and substructure R&D disconnect must be overcome via increase in partnerships or manufacturer acquisition, or supply chain confidence will remain low. For floating wind technology to meaningfully contribute to the renewable energy mix in next decade there must be a significant standardization effort around..

Conservative turbine design lifetime limits are a costly distraction from the potential of offshore projects to continue to help meet decarbonisation targets Limitations on wind turbine design lifetimes are hampering efforts to manage costs in asset lifecycles, reducing the effectiveness of long-term decision making and..

K2 Management (K2M) has been selected for design and owner’s engineer services at Taean Wind Power’s 504MW offshore wind farm in South Korea. With substantial climatological and topographical constraints limiting options for the development of onshore wind and solar in South Korea, offshore wind presents a clear route for the..

Floating foundations offer offshore wind an opportunity to move into deeper waters, and higher wind speeds, significantly upping potential generation capacity for offshore wind. Uncertainty is to be expected, but how can it be minimised to ensure well developed, profitable projects? To fulfil the potential that floating wind..

K2 Management has been appointed owner’s engineer on what will be the largest project off the coast of Maryland in the United States – Maryland Offshore Wind Project – on behalf of developer, US Wind. The scope on the circa. 270MW project will see K2 Management supporting US Wind with project management during the development..
