Press Release 10 December 2024
HIPERWIND has developed innovative models that cut offshore wind energy costs by up to 9%
Offshore wind turbines face higher wind speeds than onshore turbines and face strong ocean currents, requiring more robust designs and significantly higher capital costs. While they generate more energy due to stronger winds, these increased costs result in a higher levelized cost of energy (LCOE). The HIPERWIND project has developed new design simulation models that reduce the LCOE by up to 9%, thus making offshore wind turbine construction and operation more cost-effective and reliable.
