Orsted has launched an initiative to better understand the dynamics of typhoons and tropical weather patterns in Taiwan.
A Dual-doppler radar system will be deployed in Taiwan to collect the data, once all necessary approvals have been received from the authorities, Orsted said.
The Danish developer also signed memorandum of understanding with National Taiwan University, National Central University, Chinese Culture University and Industrial Technology Research Institute to build a network of knowledge sharing for meteorological development in Taiwan.
Orsted general manager Matthias Bausenwein said: “The Dual-doppler radar project is part of our extensive plan to promote the local collaboration with academic institutions and bodies.”
This project will also bring more local content to Taiwan, as we will need local construction companies and local consultants to deliver the project.
“By bringing the most advanced wind measurement tool to Taiwan, the industry and academia can build a strong platform to further develop technical capabilities in offshore wind.”
