Offshore Wind Energy Programme

On the first day of our three-day programme, the vital role of wind energy in the energy transition is explained. It starts with an introduction to wind energy and zooms in on the differences on the global offshore wind energy market. There is an overview of wind energy and the electric power system and the programme elaborates on hydrogen in the offshore wind energy sector. On day two, the programme dives into different subjects; the transport and logistics of offshore wind energy,
operations & maintenance, decommissioning and sustainable strategies for end-of-life management. It will also explore the latest technological advancements propelling the offshore wind sector forward. From innovative turbine designs to cutting-edge materials and grid integration solutions, we’ll uncover how technology is shaping the future of offshore wind energy and tackle the intricacies of system integration. On the third and final day, the programme will look more closely at the bigger picture behind the world of wind energy. It takes a look at the environmental impact of wind turbines on wildlife, what kind of regulations are there if you look at wind sector from an ecological standpoint. Participants will also learn more about
the tender process; from permit to production and everything in between. To conclude the day, we’ll put ourknowledge to the test and end with an interactive group session.
