This autumn, a unique offshore wind ‘living lab’ in Grimsby, UK, was switched on to launch what is being heralded as a new digital future. It is hoped that the £2.8m project will accelerate the development of a new generation of digital technologies that are essential to the huge expansion of offshore wind farms. PES spoke to Ben George, Head of Smart O&M at the Offshore Renewable Energy (ORE) Catapult, to find out more.
PES: It’s great to catch up with you at what is an exciting time for ORE Catapult, with your involvement in the biggest offshore wind ‘living lab’ in the world off the Grimsby coast in the UK. Perhaps you could begin by giving us an overview of this project?
