IEEE Spectrum, is the world’s largest professional organisation devoted to engineering and the applied sciences. It contains peer-reviewed feature articles pertaining to technology and science trends affecting business and society. This spectrum was conducted to enlighten the young minds and some skillful knowledge out of it. The speaker Ms. Shamratha spoke on the “Inside the gobal race to tap potent offshore wind”. The speaker enlightened us with the idea that “The prototype at the FloWave facility—one of 10 new floating wind-power designs tested here—is progressing fast, says Tom Davey, who oversees testing. “Everything you see here has been manufactured and put in the water in the last couple months .”There’s good reason for this hustle: The United Kingdom wants to add 34 gigawatts of offshore wind power by 2030, en route to decarbonizing its grid by 2035. But the shallow waters east of London are already packed with wind turbines. Scotland’s deeper waters are therefore the U.K.’s next frontier. Auctions have set aside parcels for 27 floating wind farms, with a combined capacity exceeding 24 GW”. The participants had an amazing experience in the meet and enjoyed the entire session.
