Objectives
Abstract The Mission of Supergen Wind 2 is to "undertake research to achieve an integrated, cost-effective, reliable & available Offshore Wind Power Station." This will be done under the four objectives:Reliability;Resource estimation;Scaling up of turbine sizes; and Lifetime costs.The project will have two parallel Initiating Themes during the first two years.The first to deal with research into the physics and engineering of the offshore wind farm.The second to look more specifically at the wind turbine, building upon the lessons of Supergen Wind 1.In the third and fourth years of the project, the results of these two Themes will feed into a third Gathering Theme, which will consider the wind farm as a power station looking at how the power station should be designed, operated and maintained for optimum reliability and what the overall economics will be
