In this first webinar of MRC’s #AskAnExpert Offshore Wind Webinar Series, we’ll explore how power is created, where it goes, how big offshore wind turbines really are, the difference between floating and fixed, the footprint of farms, onshore facilities required, and more!
To answer these questions for Canadians, we’ll be hearing from Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) Research Engineer, Mark Severy. PNNL is one of America’s leading centers for scientific discovery and innovation in sustainable energy. Mark’s cutting edge work on offshore wind energy at PNNL includes collecting meteorological and oceanographic data on potential offshore wind areas via lidar buoys, evaluating the potential environmental effects of offshore wind farms, and planning for transmission.
