Clementine Thomson, Graduate Structural Engineer, will present on 'Multi-objective Optimisation Of Cost And Carbon Of Offshore Wind Foundations' during the session ‘Net Zero: Hydrogen and Renewables’. This presentation will explore the design and delivery of offshore wind foundations in the context of cost and carbon reduction. Drawing on a detailed optimisation study of over 90 design scenarios, Clementine will examine the impact of fabrication location, turbine size and foundation type on both embodied carbon and cost for future ScotWind projects. She will highlight how multi-objective optimisation using Pareto frontiers can inform smarter decision-making in foundation design, and show how closer European manufacture and larger turbines shift the balance in carbon and cost performance. The session will offer practical insights into the trade-offs shaping the future of offshore wind.
