Michiel van der Meulen, Computational engineer wave-structure interaction at SIEMENS Gamesa talked about Wave-induced resonance at the Offshore Wind 2023; Foundations & Substations conference.

Talking points were: the need for a new ULS load case for resonance, the increase of fatigue load uncertainty that goes along with bigger turbine sizes and how the FLS sea state lumping requires more care against hindcast.

Read this exclusive article on "Extreme Weather Conditions and their Effects on Offshore Wind Turbine Foundations". 

The article talks about the requirements for offshore wind parks as they're getting more demanding as extreme weather conditions become more frequent in the booming markets.

Floating offshore wind is entering a crucial and exciting stage. Moving from pilots to commercially-planned projects, this technology —still in the megawatt scale— is set to become a sizzling market expected to surpass 1 GW in annual installations by 2026, as per the Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC). By 2030, it is expected to account for 6.1% of global wind projects, a massive increase from the current 0.1%.
In this outlook, what are the drivers behind such breakthrough? What challenges is floating offshore wind facing on its way to reach a development similar to that of bottom-fixed offshore?

As the world continues to embrace renewable energy, wind power has emerged as one of the leading clean power sources. While traditional wind turbines are limited to shallow waters where they can be fixed to the seabed, floating offshore wind technology is allowing turbines to be placed in deeper waters where winds are stronger —hence opening up a new frontier with the potential to significantly increase the amount of energy.

As a research scientist in the ships and ocean structures department at SINTEF Ocean, George is involved in numerical studies and model tests of various types of offshore structures, primarily focusing on offshore wind turbines. He mainly work on developing computationally efficient design methods for fatigue and extreme responses of monopile foundations, assessing the impact of state-of-the-art models on global responses of large-diameter monopiles, and statistical modelling of metocean conditions for design purposes.

Marcus Klose is an esteemed part of our speaker line-up for the 12th Offshore Wind 2023; Foundations & Substations conference, taking place in Bremen, Germany in August 2023. We did an interview with him on his topic at the conference, Certification and Innovation and his opinions on the future of the industry.

We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks for attending the Offshore Foundations and Substations Conference 2024. This event represents a significant milestone in the offshore wind industry, highlighting the growing importance of this field and the role our community plays in shaping its future.

For years, the Offshore Foundations and Substations Conference has been a vital platform for knowledge sharing, networking, and fostering the development of technologies and practices that drive the industry forward. This year's conference was marked by insightful discussions on cutting-edge technologies, innovative design approaches, and strategies to enhance the resilience and cost-effectiveness of offshore infrastructure.

We covered a wide range of topics, including advancements in foundation designs, innovations in substations, and the integration of new technologies to optimize performance and sustainability. The conference not only addressed current challenges but also offered a forward-looking perspective on trends that will shape the future of offshore wind energy.

For those unable to attend, this Post Show Report aims to provide a brief overview of the key insights and takeaways from the event. We hope this summary will inspire you to join us next year and stay connected with the latest developments in offshore wind technology.

A special thank you to our speakers, partners, and, most importantly, you, our participants. Your contributions made the Offshore Foundations and Substations Conference 2024 a truly memorable and groundbreaking event. We look forward to continuing our collaboration in the years to come and driving the future of offshore wind together.
