Session description A wealth of experience is being accumulated by a number of companies operating offshore as a result of experiences accumulated from involvement in past an ongoing offshore wind projects. This session will allow attendees to learn from the experiences of those involved in developing Burbo Bank, Thornton Bank, Horns Rev II, Prinses Amalia and Belwind. With offshore wind projects becoming larger, further from the shore, and in deeper waters, learning from past experiences, and understanding how to overcome challenges, is increasingly vital for successful project implementation. |

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. |

Session description Appropriate maritime spatial planning (MSP) guidelines are a key prerequisite for the rapid expansion of offshore wind energy in European waters. Different approaches and initiatives that have been taken in the EU and beyond will be presented in this session. Following the Communication on a Roadmap for Maritime Spatial Planning of November 2008, the European Commission has entered a stakeholder dialogue on the challenges and practical application of key principles for MSP. This session will look at the key needs of the offshore wind sector with regards to MSP in Europe |

Session description With installed capacity expected to grow substantially over the decades to come, the debate over how this capacity should be connected to the existing grid is intensifying. This session will consider examples of techno-economic studies of offshore wind connection, focusing on the North Sea. Key questions for discussion will include: • Are simple ("radial") connections likely to prevail as the dominant pattern, or could more integrated solutions gain ground over time? • To what extent do considerations other than techno-economic merits (e.g. planning, environment, procedural) alter the answer to the first question? • How can regulatory frameworks and TSOs promote optimal connection solutions, and what more could be done at EU level in this respect? A related aspect is the potential synergies between interconnectors and wind farm connections which is also the subject of a dedicated session (BG4). |

Session description The risk in the performance of a wind energy project is impacted by a large number of parameters, not least of which is the wind resource. A correct estimate of the wind resource can make or break the economics of a wind energy project. Therefore, this resource must be accurately detailed both for the short and long term, and fine & coarse spatial resolutions. A higher level of confidence in the wind resource assessment facilitates the financing and the subsequent operation of the wind energy project. In this session, innovative measurements and computer modelling techniques that are used to detail and exploit the offshore wind resource, over different spatial and temporal scales, will be presented. |

Session description Wind energy is one of the cleanest, most environmentally friendly energy sources. It emits no air or water pollutants, nor greenhouse gases. However, at the local and regional levels wind energy can have impacts, in particular on wildlife and/or habitats. Balancing these concerns is a difficult task, and one that requires both a broad understanding of complex issues combined with detailed and specific environmental information. This session will discuss the most recent scientific methods and tools for analysing bird migration, for quantifying compensatory restoration, and resource use and emissions generated throughout the life cycle of offshore wind projects. Speakers will present their views and practice of integration of environmental concerns and will debate the need for guidelines regarding wind energy development and nature conservation. |
