Welcome to the IDEA Ireland project podcast series which looks at the offshore wind farm industry featuring experts on key aspects of the design and operation of a floating offshore wind farm. Through the series, you will get an overview of the industry, the stakeholders involved in developing a floating wind farm, and the opportunities and challenges that floating wind presents.
Gain open access to designs, data and guidelines to help researchers and industry move forward in planning and building large-scale floating wind farms in Irish waters.
The podcast is brought to you by a collection of industry experts, University College Cork (UCC), Gavin and Doherty Geosolutions (GDG) and Wind Energy Ireland (WEI) are working alongside an International Energy Association (IEA) Wind Energy task 49 to develop Integrated Designs for Floating Offshore Wind Farms (IDEA).

Ep.3 - Wet Storage Floating Off Shore Wind Turbines
Wet storage and its relation to floating off shore wind energy is the talking topic of today. Given Ireland's goal of establishing large-scale floating offshore wind energy projects and the limitations imposed by offshore weather, research on "wet storage" looks into the benefits it offers to accelerate installation times and support floating wind turbine long-term operation and maintenance. Postdoctoral researcher at MaREI, UCC, Ross O'Connell is here to give an insight to the current status of wet storage for floating offshore wind, what constitutes a suitable location for its implementation, and how it's going to be rolled out in Ireland.

Ep.2 - Marine Spatial Planning With MARA
Marine spatial planning the first key step in building off shore wind farms. To delve into deeper is Principal Officer at the Maritime Area Regulatory Authority (MARA) Rory O'Leary who has over 20 years experience in the industry. Fiona and Rory discuss the planning process and the need to ensure off shore wind farms are implemented in maritime areas meet criteria that deliver all the while considering maritime environments.

Ep.1: Going With The FLOW
To kickstart the podcast series we have Greg Bohan senior off shore consultant at Gavin & Doherty Geosolutions to give an insight to the floating off shore wind industry, to breakdown what exactly off shore floating wind turbines are, what stage Ireland is at with it's introduction of floating off shore wind and what are the main challenges with their introduction to Irish seas.
