Program Overview:

While the floating offshore wind market is still at a nascent stage, it is expected to be the next frontier in wind power development. Floating offshore wind is opening new possibilities for wind power locations and will play a critical role in the transition to a cleaner energy supply, contributing significantly to an increase in offshore wind power. As the offshore renewable energy sector grows, efforts to develop the technology needed for the floating wind market are also increasing in scale and scope.

While most offshore wind turbines are anchored to the ocean floor on fixed foundations, limiting them to depths of about 165ft, floating turbines are tethered to the seabed by mooring lines. The ability to install the wind turbines in deeper waters, where winds tend to be stronger, opens up huge amounts of the ocean to generate renewable wind power were close to 80% of potential offshore wind power is found in deeper waters. In addition, positioning floating turbines much further off the coast helps avoid conflicts with those who object to the project.

The successful engineering & deployment of recent operational floating offshore wind farm projets confirm the technical and commercial viability of the floating offshore wind concept & technology and will further fuel the demand of the implementation of floating offshore wind farms globally. Floating Offshore Wind Technology is eexpected to add up to 10.7 GW of feasible wind power by 2030 and 70 GW by 2040.

That said there is still a lack of knowledge in floating offshore wind and several challenges that need to overcome for companies & project developers looking to plan & operate floating offshore wind farms. This include cost & project planning challenges, design & engineering technical considerations, heavy lift & transportation challenges, mooring considerations in challenging environments as well the uncertainty over the economic feasibility & business models around floating offshore wind technology.

After lots of market research to identify the market’s gap in knowledge & its biggest concerns, this Floating Offshore Wind Masterclass has been developed to deep dive into best practices and solutions around floating offshore wind technical & technological challenges, installation & maintenance challenges, project business models, economics of floating offshore wind, how you can effectively commercialize it, risk management aspects, cost-benefit analysis of floating offshore wind farms you can you can efficiency adopt, apply & operationalize floating offshore wind     

Through case studies, practical insights and actual project experiences, Equip Global’s interactive 4 day masterclass on Floating Offshore Wind taking place in February 2025, will cover all of the above and more to provide you with information and practical solutions that can really help you in overcome your biggest challenges in floating offshore wind project implementation.
