Delivering >14 MW offshore turbines by 2023: can we do it?
Turbine Technology (on- and offshore)
When: Tuesday, 28 November 2017, 16:30 - 17:45
Where: Emerald
Session description
Markets are evolving fast and market prices are falling as offshore wind technology develops. In Europe, almost everyone plans with the biggest possible turbines. Wind turbine sizes of 14 MW and more seem possible in the very near future, but how do we get there and are we on track? This session presents the latest scientific results and technical innovations - not necessarily all in terms of turbine size - and invites the audience to discuss the future of offshore wind technology.
Learning objectives
- Realize the current state of offshore wind technology
- Obtain insights into the user perspective - what are the expectations of a major utility regarding future offshore turbines?
- Evaluate the latest technical innovations implemented in offshore projects and the experiences gained with them
- Recognize the academic perspective - what has been gained in two major European research projects and how will it benefit the industry?
