Studiedag 'Offshore wind energy - advanced track '

Module 1 describes the wind power production and conversions up to the grid connection and integration, i.e. “from wind to wire”. Herein the components (turbine blades, generators, offshore grid, etc.) are discussed in detail.

Module 2 focuses on structural aspects and offshore foundations in particular, e.g. wave-structure interactions, geotechnical and material aspects, floating structures, etc.

The last module focusses on the operational aspects of offshore wind farms, viz monitoring of various assets and parameters, maintenance, wind power prediction, etc..

The last lesson day of this module will be organised at Ostend Science Park where a visit at the Coastal & Ocean Basin (COB) and The Reef will be organised.
