Join us for a technical seminar bringing together leading voices from across the offshore wind sector to explore the technologies, challenges and innovations shaping the industry’s future.
Fixed and Floating technologies for OWF – Claudia Scragg (UK Offshore Energy Manager at TYPSA)
The talk will provide an overview of the different technologies used in the Offshore Wind industry and their suitability dependent on water depth, seabed conditions, cost, and energy yield goals. This talk will expand on their advantages and limitations for each technology.
Floating Wind Industry Update and Challenges – David Brookes (St Jules)
The talk will provide an overview of the current Floating Wind developments and the challenges (updated to include the recent AR7 awards) faced by large schemes
Deployment of a Structural Digital Twin for the Kincardine Floating Wind Farm – Owen Pocock (Technical Manager at 2H)
The presentation will highlight the value of digital twins to the floating wind industry, how they reduce cost and risk, how they have been successfully deployed and calibrated for fatigue damage.
