Floating Offshore Wind Foundations including Mooring Design

Open course brochure to see the programme and Lecturer's CV

Floating offshore wind (FOW) is a fast-developing industry. This course will explore the basic considerations made when designing a floating offshore wind farm and the principle designs that have been developed so far. The course will cover the main different types of floating offshore wind foundations such as semi-submersible, spar buoy, tension leg and floating barge platforms and highlight the pros and cons of each design. Different types of mooring designs will be introduced.

Who should attend 

Engineers and researchers involved in the design of offshore floating wind turbines, contracts engineers, wind turbine Installation companies, team leaders, conversion engineers, project engineers and managers, offshore controls engineers and safety inspectors will benefit from attending this course. The course is innovative in both content & structure with a careful balance of theory & practice.
