Introduction
Introduction

The British Office Taipei, together with the British Chamber of Commerce in Taipei (BCCTaipei) are hosting the UK Pavilion at Energy Taiwan 2024, showcasing the UK's role in offshore wind and renewable energy. As Taiwan becomes the UK's largest offshore wind market in the Asia-Pacific, the pavilion will highlight UK companies' expertise and contributions, emphasising the strong economic ties between the UK and Taiwan.


The pavilion features solutions from 13 UK companies, including wind farm planning, consultancy, O&M services, and advanced technologies.

 

UK Renewable Industry

Building on its strengths in decarbonisation and clean growth technology, the UK is at the forefront of offshore wind deployment in Europe and is the second-largest offshore wind market globally. As of 2024, the UK has an ambitious pipeline of nearly 100 GW of offshore wind projects. With 15GW capacity already installed, the UK has some of the world's largest operational wind farms. UK has the ambition to deploy up to 50 gigawatts (GW) by 2030, with up to 5GW coming from floating offshore wind. The UK is making significant strides in accelerating deployment and expanding supply chain capabilities, ensuring that the industry remains resilient and competitive​.


UK Offshore Wind in Taiwan

The UK's partnership with Taiwan on renewable energy, particularly offshore wind, is a shining example of international cooperation. For nearly two decades, the UK has shared its expertise in energy policy, industrial development, and R&D with Taiwan. The British Chamber of Commerce Taipei's UK Renewables Committee plays an active role in enhancing the local talent pool and facilitating business cooperation, which is crucial for the development of Taiwan's offshore wind industry. Taiwan is the UK's largest offshore wind market in the Asia-Pacific region, with over 40 UK companies establishing a presence here, many using Taiwan as a hub for the broader region. This collaboration continues to grow, with recent conferences highlighting advances in floating wind technology and emerging renewable energy solutions, ensuring both the UK and Taiwan are on track to meet their ambitious net-zero targets​.


UK companies exhibiting at Energy Taiwan 2024

Thirteen UK companies will be exhibiting at the UK Pavilion to demonstrate the UK's supply chain expertise in renewable energy infrastructure, offshore wind farm planning and construction, engineering consulting, O&M services, green energy industry recruitment, cable protection systems, ocean surface measurement, satellite telecommunication networks, inspection services, and temporary power and temperature solutions fPreviewor offshore wind farms.

    UK Pavilion Mini- Seminar 2 | Geotechnical Risk Management of Offshore Windfarm Projects

    UK Pavilion Q0724
    Geotechnics play a vital role at all stages of offshore windfarm development; conceptual design to detailed design and installation. This talk presents the key stages in an offshore windfarm project where geotechnical input is critical and provides insight into how lack of correct geotechnical input can lead to ground risks later in a project. If ground risks are allowed to pass on in project stages, its impact and consequences on project cost and programme can be very high at later stages. Thus...
    Geotechnics play a vital role at all stages of offshore windfarm development; conceptual design to detailed design and installation. This talk presents the key stages in an offshore windfarm project where geotechnical input is critical and provides insight into how lack of correct geotechnical input can lead to ground risks later in a project. If ground risks are allowed to pass on in project stages, its impact and consequences on project cost and programme can be very high at later stages. Thus, ground risks should be identified as soon as possible and mitigated early on through site investigation, ground modelling and design.
    The talk provides insight into soil classification and its impact in design, geohazards, integrated ground models, pile designs and seabed intervention methods for cable burial and installation. Most common pitfalls that are directly or indirectly link to geotechnics that lead to project cost and program delay are discussed and recommendations provided. Unmanaged ground risks can have escalated impact on project cost and programme. Geotechnical risk management is paramount for successful offshore wind projects.

Which Metocean parameters and local weather phenomenon like typhoons will play a primary role in influencing the installation strategy? The talk will give an insight into some of the Taiwan specific considerations for developing a robust and insurable transport and installation strategy. The foundation for the presentation is based on the combination of the understanding developed during the installation of Kincardine Floating Offshore Wind Farm and Flotation Energy’s inhouse operational simulation tools.

    UK Pavilion Q0724
    FOW is becoming a fast-maturing technology with the potential of cementing Taiwan’s leadership in offshore wind in APAC. Globally, the industry has made a significant step forward with many demonstration and pre-commercial deployments in the past 5 years. All of which have large, deep territorial waters, significant wind resources offshore, high population and industrial activity near the coastline. These conditions make Taiwan very suitable for the development of FOW. Early this year, the Ener...
    FOW is becoming a fast-maturing technology with the potential of cementing Taiwan’s leadership in offshore wind in APAC. Globally, the industry has made a significant step forward with many demonstration and pre-commercial deployments in the past 5 years. All of which have large, deep territorial waters, significant wind resources offshore, high population and industrial activity near the coastline. These conditions make Taiwan very suitable for the development of FOW. Early this year, the Energy Administration took the right first step to formulate the deployment plan of pre-commercial projects, 6-12 units each, up to 3 selected projects; and policy goals to effectively support the deployment.

    In his short presentation, prof. KT Ma highlights three importances that make floating offshore wind deployment a sucessfull mission.
