Show Notes
Wet storage and its relation to floating off shore wind energy is the talking topic of today. Given Ireland's goal of establishing large-scale floating offshore wind energy projects and the limitations imposed by offshore weather, research on "wet storage" looks into the benefits it offers to accelerate installation times and support floating wind turbine long-term operation and maintenance. Postdoctoral researcher at MaREI, UCC, Ross O'Connell is here to give an insight to the current status of wet storage for floating offshore wind, what constitutes a suitable location for its implementation, and how it's going to be rolled out in Ireland.
