Overview:
As offshore wind capacity accelerates across fixed offshore wind, floating offshore wind and hybrid offshore wind fast becomes a reality, the industry faces increasing pressure to address turbine installation and major component exchange that is reliable, scalable, and cost‑effective.
Developing safe, efficient offshore assembly and major component replacement methods is essential to reducing turbine downtime and minimising associated CAPEX and OPEX.
Who should attend:
This workshop is relevant for developers, OEMs, vessel and lifting solution providers, ports operators, policymakers, insurance and financial lenders.
We welcome you to share this to your colleagues who will benefit from attending this workshop.
Why attend this workshop?
Through structured and delivery focused discussion, attendees will:
- Explore the emerging 'new normal' for offshore turbine installation and major component exchange (MCE)
- Hear and discuss where current MCE approaches break down in practice
- Highlight cross industry priorities and dependencies
- Identify realistic opportunities for in-situ solutions and practical actions that could accelerate deployment of next generation MCE methods
Focus will be on understanding the status of concepts and how these can be developed further to support in the near term rather evaluating and discussing aspirational or long term concepts.
Agenda highlights:
- Overview: Sharing experience of work to date, specifically the work undertaken in Floating Wind Join Industry Programme (FLWJIP)
- Panel session with policymakers, developers, insurers to provide perspective on:
- What existing infrastructure is available to support in-situ MCE?
- What factors most constrain in‑situ MCE today?
- Roundtable discussions identifying practical solutions to enable safe, repeatable and scalable in-situ MCE
Full agenda to be shared prior to workshop.
