Global Offshore Wind Conference Showcases Best and Latest Research
11 January 2022 - 12:55PM
Offshore wind power will be a key solution for Europe to reach its
climate targets, and EERA, SINTEF and NTNU are showcasing the best
and latest research and innovation in the field at the EERA
DeepWind conference.
Skyrocketing energy prices in Europe and the pressing need to
expand renewable energy to solve the climate crisis are making
offshore wind more relevant than ever. "Offshore wind has the
potential to meet our energy needs many times over," says
conference chair John Olav Tande, Chief Scientist SINTEF, "and we
must work quickly to make use of its potential."
The conference this year will be opened by Norwegian Minister of
Petroleum and Energy Marte Mjøs Persen. Keynote speakers
include - among many others - Manager of Offshore Wind Technology
at Equinor, Hanne Wigum; professor at the North China Electric
Power University's Renewable Energy School, Yongqian Liu; and
Senior Policy Officer at the European Commission, Matthijs
Soede.
DeepWind features top experts and leaders in the fields of
offshore wind policy, technology and research. Topics addressed
this year are:
- New turbine and generator technology
- Grid connection and system integration
- Met-ocean conditions
- Operation and maintenance
- Installation and sub-structures
- Wind farm control
- Wind farm optimization
- Experimental testing and validation
- Sustainable development
For the second year in a row, the conference will be held online
due to the ongoing pandemic. This provides a unique opportunity for
people around the world who are interested in offshore wind power
to participate and get up-to-date with the latest and best research
and innovation in the field.
Anyone wishing to participate can register now to join us
online 19-21 January!
The conference is organised by the European Energy Research
Alliance (EERA), Norwegian research institute SINTEF, and Norwegian
University of Science and Technology NTNU.
