Session description Europe, and especially its member states around the North Sea, has set itself a series of ambitious but serious targets in the offshore installation of wind turbines. To make this happen, many logistic and technical challenges are inevitably involved. These not only include a sufficient supply of suitable turbines and electricity cables, but also the related urgent need for sufficient, suitable and smart equipment to transport and install all of this from onshore to offshore locations. Not only are the number of installations per year expected to increase rapidly, but also the size of each unit. This consequently needs to be taken into account in designing technical solutions and in the choice of equipments to be used. In this session, the speakers will give us their views on how to approach these problems in a more conceptual way and will reveal multiple solutions for transporting and installing foundations, preassembled wind turbines and even a combination of the two. |
