Danish consultancy Peak Wind has set up a new practice group focused on floating wind.
The new team will provide floating wind services within technical, operational and asset management areas.
Peak Wind’s Floating Wind Excellence unit is headed by Ilmas Bayati (pictured), who has more than a decade of experience working with floating wind designers and developers.
Bayati said: “The last decade has been characterised by an exciting R&D phase, witnessing the development of several different floating concepts.
“A few early movers have commissioned their prototypes, currently operating at sea, to demonstrate the feasibility of such technology.
“Today, the question is not ‘if’ but ‘how’ efficiently the commercial floating wind farms will be operated and maintained in the future.”
