- Additional information
- The paper reports on research conducted under an ERDF grant (X01692PR) designed to support SMEs in the installation of wind turbines in Lancashire and Cumbria. It develops a mathematical model which can be used in the design of wind turbine blades. This is important because the UK is the world leader in offshore wind. The combined offshore and onshore wind industry represented 20% of the total energy produced in the UK in 2019. More reliable long-lasting systems designed using novel materials and predictive tools are essential.
