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!
PO216: Navigating Winds and Tides: An Optimization Approach to Offshore Wind O&M
Eric Cabral, Professor and Researcher, Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte
Abstract
With the growing imperative to decarbonize the global economy, offshore wind energy emerges as an opportune solution. While it presents significant opportunities, its operational challenges, such as asset maintenance and the high associated costs, are pressing and undermine the economic viability of this sector. This abstract presents a pioneering framework with the aim to contribute with the discussion of this issue by optimizing the planning of operations and maintenance (O&M) of offshore wind farms, drawing on specialized literature and case studies of companies that have the North Sea as their main scenario for operations. The proposed model, rigorously validated by leading experts, incorporates 21 critical factors for O&M planning that not only propose cost reduction, but also provide guidelines for enhancing improvements in reliability, innovation, and safety of operations. To optimize the aspects addressed in this conceptual model, the abstract proposes the development of a new decision analysis system that considers, in addition to the validated factors, the maintenance strategies and quantitative methods most appropriate for mitigating uncertainties, seeks to maximize the operational performance of offshore wind farms and allow the development of scenarios that are strategically interesting for critical analysis and decision-making at a strategic level. Thus, it is expected that the study will direct new paradigms to O&M planning by essentially motivating the continuous reassessment of the risks of these operations and ensuring compliance in their control with the mitigation actions structured in action plans.
