Posters
Come meet the poster presenters to ask them questions and discuss their work
We would like to invite you to come and see the posters at our upcoming conference. The posters will showcase a diverse range of research topics, and will give delegates an opportunity to engage with the authors and learn more about their work. Whether you are a seasoned researcher or simply curious about the latest developments in your field, we believe that the posters will offer something of interest to everyone. So please join us at the conference and take advantage of this opportunity to learn and engage with your peers in industry and the academic community.
On 9 April at 17:15, we’ll also hold the main poster session and distinguish the 7 best posters of this year’s edition with our traditional Poster Awards Ceremony. Join us at the poster area to cheer and meet the laureates, and enjoy some drinks with all poster presenters!
We look forward to seeing you there!
PO081: Main aspects and logistical factors in the installation of floating offshore wind farms.
Monalisa Godeiro, Senior reseacher, Creation Research Group/UFRN
Abstract
Increasing offshore wind capacity is critical to achieving global energy transition goals. Floating wind technology offers an opportunity for countries with high wind capacity and deep coastal regions. However, this technology is still in its maturing phase and has several challenges to be overcome. The logistic challenges faced especially in the installation phase, when overcome, can result in significant reductions in costs, mainly in LCOE, which represent around 5-10% of CAPEX. In this context, this research aims to analyse the main logistical aspects and their factors in the installation phase of floating offshore wind farms. To achieve this objective, a research method was conducted in 3 steps: (i) Exploratory research; (ii) Case studies in leading regions (Europe, United States, South-East Asia and China), and (iii) Systematization of logistical factors. The results indicate 5 main logistical aspects that must be analysed, with 55 factors corresponding to each one: electrical infrastructure (15 factors); offshore and onshore substations (9 factors); port infrastructure (17 factors); land and maritime connectivity (7 factors); and assembly and installation operations (7 factors). Understanding and overcoming the logistics challenges in installing floating offshore wind farms is essential to ensure that projects run on time, on cost and reach their full potential. In this way, it is expected that efficient logistical plans, based on the critical analysis of aspects and factors such as those identified in this research, will significantly reduce the costs of installing floating farms and support owners in their decision-making and in the maturity of this technology.
