A major collaboration between universities and energy companies has made vital improvements to offshore wind turbines, which could help them generate more renewable energy and reduce the UK’s reliance on fossil fuels. ”Dave Bould, Senior Project Representative from Ørsted, who develop, construct and operate offshore wind farms, said: “The work of the University of Sheffield to develop more efficient and effective ways of monitoring the health of wind turbine blades is an exceptional example of research that can be directly applied by industry to improve commercial performance. This will be led by the University of Sheffield and will drive new standards for safer, greener structures in the future
