Session description The wind industry has identified the need for increased knowledge of offshore wind turbine reliability and performance as a key element in lowering the risks and costs of energy. Predicted market volumes justify the building of dedicated test and demonstration facilities. Numerous initiatives have been launched, aimed at improving the knowledge base and expanding the scientific and experimental infrastructure. These efforts are now starting to bear fruit; research programmes have been approved and initiated, and the implementation of unique test facilities for large scale wind applications is well on its way. During this session, the speakers will report on the objectives, specifications, and results of research for the advancement of offshore wind technology, including their visions on the future of co-operation on research and testing, and its advantages. |
