The wind energy market continues to mature as onshore turbines pursue evolutionary technology, while dramatic technology shifts remain focused on offshore turbines. Turbines have grown larger, more productive, cost-effective and reliable due to technology investments.
A few key points:
- The 10+ MW turbines that will be introduced over the coming years are stretching the limits of traditional technologies
- Offshore wind defines the innovation horizon, as the most radical technological approaches continue to be applied to this segment
- Policy uncertainty in the US and onshore Europe have dramatically reduced new products targeting these regions
