Current obstacles

Offshore weather windowsInstallation work is limited to calm seas and good visibility. Storms and rough conditions delay schedules, pushing projects past planned completion dates.
Supply chain for specialized materialsRare earth magnets and high-strength alloys for turbine gearboxes face supply constraints, affecting production rates and delivery timelines.

Physics limits

Wind variabilityWind speed varies hourly and seasonally. A 14 MW turbine generates peak power only in certain wind speeds (typically 12-25 m/s); outside that range, output is lower or zero.
Blade material stressLonger blades capture more energy but face greater bending and fatigue stresses. Materials like carbon fiber and fiberglass fail after repeated stress cycles, limiting blade length and lifetime.
Ocean corrosionSaltwater corrodes steel and concrete. Offshore foundations require protective coatings and monitoring for years, adding maintenance cost over the turbine's 25-30 year life.

How it works

3 parts

Blade Design

107-meter rotor blades

World's longest production blades capture maximum wind energy and handle ocean stress.

Fixed Foundation

Offshore installation

Turbines at Dogger Bank use fixed steel jackets in 18-63 meter water, anchored to the seabed for strong, consistent wind.

Power Transmission

Grid connection

Generator converts wind to electricity. Cables feed onshore substations for grid integration.
