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!
PO209: Drivers for the development of a port to support offshore wind energy
Luana Pereira Nogueira, Researcher, CREATION/UFRN
Abstract
The implementation of Offshore Wind Farms (OWFs) in emerging markets underscores the need to upgrade existing port infrastructure and establish new ports. The success of port projects and the effective performance of their development are influenced by a set of key drivers, such as strategic objectives, demand, and costs considerations. Therefore, the objective of this research is to identify a set of drivers that enhance port-industry performance during the design and operational phases, while also aligning with the principles of green port and smart port, to support offshore wind energy. The research methodology included 5 phases: i) a comprehensive review of the state of the art in port development and performance metrics, conducted through theoretical research of scientific articles and technical reports; ii) documentary analysis of port development projects and port master plans; iii) case studies of regions with studies for the development of port infrastructure to support offshore wind energy (New York; New Jersey; and Scotland); iv) a focus group; and v) a survey conducted with experts in port infrastructure and offshore wind energy. The focus group facilitated the identification of additional drivers beyond those identified in the earlier phases (literature review, document analysis and case studies). Based on the survey, which involved five subject-matter experts, the level of consensus regarding the relevance of each driver was assessed. Ultimately, the research proposes a framework comprising 33 general drivers, intended to serve multiple objectives, and 9 specific drivers focused on ensuring the quality and efficiency of offshore wind energy projects.
