Proposed research programme. The goals, methods and outputs below are planning proposals, not confirmed deployments, funded commitments or guaranteed results. Site selection, permits, environmental review and engineering validation remain prerequisites.
CAII progress not verified
No verifiable CAII project reports, test records or deployment evidence have been supplied for this direction. Undertaken work cannot yet be confirmed. This does not establish that no work has occurred. External sources below document third-party methods or trials, not CAII achievements.
Assess viable offshore wind resources and hurricane exposure for island energy systems.
Coordinate wind, storage and flexible compute demand without compromising grid stability.
Resource assessment — combine wind measurements, reanalysis, bathymetry and shipping or ecological constraints to compare candidate sites.
Engineering and control — compare fixed-bottom and floating concepts; model extreme loads, wake effects and safe shutdown with human-approved controls.
Validation — test forecasting, turbine fault detection and microgrid dispatch in simulation before any permitted pilot.
Proposed deliverables · not completed results
A resource and siting assessment with uncertainty ranges and environmental screening.
Validated forecasting and dispatch prototypes, maintenance guidance and a techno-economic feasibility report.
References support the proposed technical pathway, not CAII project progress, partnership or certification. Publisher documents retain their original language; standards may require purchase and are not proof of compliance.
