NEXT COURSE
OCTOBER 27-28 2010
Wind Energy Basic Course - Offshore
Target audience
The target audience is primarily employees in the wind industry who want to learn about the special challenges and technologies of offshore wind. A certain degree of advanced knowledge of general wind energy production is an advantage but not a requirement. The course participants will learn about solutions to the special challenges in producing wind energy offshore.
Course description
The course will impart to the participants knowledge about the common technologies underlying modern offshore wind power production and knowledge about how offshore wind energy production differs from onshore wind energy production. Part of the course deals with the challenges of transporting the electricity generated by offshore wind turbines to the electricity grid. Another part of the course deals with Installation, Operation & Maintenance and Health, Safety, Environment and Quality.
Time and price
The course is conducted over 2 days from 9:00 am to 16:00 pm.
The price is €1,090 per participant. Course materials, course certificate and all meals during the course are included in the price.
The price does not include hotel accommodation and travel arrangements.
Instructors
Torben Juul Larsen, Risoe DTU
Lars Møller Nielsen, Vestas Wind Systems
Patrik Passon, RAMBOELL Wind Energy
Birgitte Bak-Jensen, Aalborg University
Place
The course takes place at Innovatorium, Birk Centerpark 40, 7400 Herning
Deadline for registration
1 week before start at the latest.
