More than two-thirds of the U.S. wind energy resources are located in deep waters, prompting growing interest in the deployment of floating offshore wind farms. With a $2.5 million contract from energy, a unh_ceps team will lead research that will maximize power production, limit hardware damage and reduce the cost of floating offshore wind farms. Led by Greg Chini , professor of mechanical engineering and integrated applied mathematics, the project will develop new mathematical and computational models and perform laboratory experiments and field measurements that will optimize floating offshore wind farms. Collaborators are UNH mechanical and ocean engineering faculty members Martin Wosnik, Chris White and Nathan Laxague, as well as partners at Brown University in Rhode Island and Bates College in Maine.
