Session description

The economic viability of offshore wind project depends on many parameters. One of the most important is understanding the wave loading and its coupled interaction with the supporting structure.

This session will present:
• Innovative modelling techniques for assessing the impact of wave loading on the supporting structure.
• The impact of misaligned wave loading on cross wind vibrations and its mitigation through the introduction of tower dampers.
• The role certification and quality control/assurance plays in reducing risks to financers and developers.
