Overordnede kursusmål
This course will introduce you to the planning aspects of offshore
wind energy. We will look at the technology - both bottom mounted
as well as floating wind turbines.
We will provide an overview over the steps a project developer will
go through from assessment of the wind resource, site conditions,
selection of wind turbines, grid connection, environmental impact,
economics of offshore wind and integration in the society.
Finally, we will introduce you to the political framework and
strategic planning of offshore wind at country level.
