Session description The session will look at the state and growth potentials of the offshore markets around Europe and how governments are tackling and programming this development. The presentations will discuss the role of governments and authorities in finding solutions to supply chain constraints and dealing with applications and authorisations through maritime spatial planning and supportive legislative regimes. |

Session description The economic efficiency of offshore wind farms is highly dependent on the availability and reliability of installed wind energy converters. Due to the relative inaccessibility of offshore sites, maintenance and service works have a considerable influence on the operational costs of offshore wind farms. In order to minimise such financial impacts, risks should be identified, quality methods adapted and new technical solutions investigated. This session will present past experiences with onshore applications and will illustrate concepts and methods of reliability assessment and assurance, as well as highlighting examples of adapted technologies. |

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. |

Session description Today’s electricity markets are driven by daily and seasonal changes in demand, which call on different types of electricity generation with different costs to be dispatched. Ongoing projects such as Kriegers Flak and a future North Sea Grid will create regional markets dominated by large amounts of wind constituting market areas with predominantly low prices. This session will analyse the different impacts of a large in-feed of offshore wind on regional markets in both the North and Baltic Sea against the background of the recent adoption of the 3rd Liberalisation Package. The session will also examine best market design options. |

Session description The panel discussion will be based around the main themes of the ‘European Policy Workshop on Offshore Wind Power Deployment’, namely: market mechanisms, marine spatial planning and grids. Dedicated to improving the framework conditions for offshore wind power deployment, earlier editions of this workshop took place in Berlin (December 2007), the "Copenhagen Strategy" (2005) and Egmond (October 2004). |

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. |
