BEIS has committed to ending the UK’s contribution to global warming by achieving net zero
greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. Our work towards becoming a leader in green
technologies and clean energy will drive economic growth, all whilst accelerating global climate
action through strong international leadership. To achieve this, we need to better understand
the following research questions:

Lead research organisation: University of Manchester
The project specifically addresses the question by studying the effects of wind turbines on offshore radar operations and developing radar scattering models for floating foundations.
To develop a novel radar technology based on sea wave prediction to improve offshore floating wind turbine efficiency, maintenance and safety, which would reduce their cost of energy to benefit the electricity consumer a...
Funded by: Innovate UK
Lead research organisation: UNIVERSITY OF BRISTOL
The project is relevant as it involves the development of a novel radar technology for offshore wind turbines, which could potentially mitigate air traffic control and air defence radar interference.
