A new scientific article authored by the Sirris research team and linked to the WILLOW Project has been published, presenting progress in the detection of pitting corrosion in carbon steel used in offshore structures. The study, titled “Assessing the potential of electrochemical techniques for monitoring pitting corrosion in carbon steel for offshore structures” and published in Electrochimica Acta, evaluates how electrochemical methods can support early identification of corrosion processes in marine environments.
The publication highlights the importance of advancing monitoring techniques to improve the reliability and lifetime of offshore wind components. This work contributes directly to WILLOW’s objective of developing a data‑driven, health‑aware curtailment strategy that helps operators balance energy production with structural longevity.
