Understanding Important Technical Concepts of Offshore Wind Energy Production

Course Overview

This is a technical training course that will guide you through everything you need to know to make sense of the challenges and opportunities within the offshore wind energy world. Starting with the basics and gradually diving into the more complex technical topics related to offshore wind farms.

Participants will gain a detailed understanding of the fundamental principles and components of offshore wind energy systems, as well as the skills required to design them. The delegates of Offshore Wind Energy Deep Dive training course will also learn to identify and manage risks associated with offshore wind energy projects, as well as identify mitigation measures to minimize those risks.

This Energy Training Centre training course will highlight:

  • Measuring the offshore wind: meteorological platforms and floating LiDAR systems
  • Offshore wind turbine technology: fixed-bottom and floating turbines
  • Metocean and seabed data assessment
  • Offshore wind farm layout design and optimization
  • Offshore wind farm economics and financing
  • Risk assessment and mitigation measures for offshore wind energy systems

Course Objectives

By the end of this Offshore Wind Energy Deep Dive training course, participants will learn to:

  • Select adequate offshore wind measurement equipment for each site
  • Determine the appropriate wind turbine technology
  • Estimate CAPEX and LCoE for offshore new wind farm project
  • Develop optimal offshore wind farm layouts
  • Acquire and analyze metocean and seabed data

Training Methodology

During the training course, the participants will benefit from a range of effective teaching methods. Each training section will commence with an introduction to the topic, followed by an overview of the critical technical concepts. The training course will encompass the use of PowerPoint presentations, videos, illustrations, practical case studies, and interactive exercises. To conclude each section, a collective conversation and Q&A moment will take place.
