The offshore wind industry is at the forefront of the global transition to sustainable energy. Offshore wind farms are a major source of clean, renewable energy, and they are becoming increasingly cost-competitive with fossil fuels.
As the offshore wind industry continues to grow, there are a number of new frontiers that are being explored. These include:
-
Deepwater wind: This refers to offshore wind farms that are located in waters that are more than 60 meters deep. Deepwater wind is a more challenging and expensive proposition than shallowwater wind, but it has the potential to unlock vast amounts of offshore wind energy.
-
Floating wind: This refers to offshore wind turbines that are anchored to the seabed using floating platforms. Floating wind is a promising technology for developing offshore wind farms in deep waters or in areas with shallow seabeds that are unsuitable for traditional offshore wind turbines.
-
Hybrid offshore wind: This refers to offshore wind farms that are integrated with other renewable energy sources, such as solar or tidal energy. Hybrid offshore wind farms can help to increase the output and reliability of renewable energy.
-
Offshore wind plus: This refers to offshore wind farms that are integrated with other infrastructure, such as aquaculture or desalination plants. Offshore wind plus projects can help to create new economic opportunities and reduce the environmental impact of offshore wind farms.
The 3rd Annual Offshore Wind Operations and Maintenance Forum will explore the latest developments in sustainable energy frontiers. The forum will bring together industry leaders, policymakers, and researchers to discuss the challenges and opportunities of these new technologies.
The forum will include presentations on a variety of topics, including:
-
The latest trends in deepwater wind technology
-
The challenges and opportunities of floating wind
-
The potential of hybrid offshore wind
-
The future of offshore wind plus
The forum will also feature a number of networking opportunities for attendees to connect with each other and learn more about the latest developments in sustainable energy frontiers.
