New digital tools and methodologies for design optimisation

Getting as close as possible to the optimal solution in the design phase is critical for significantly reducing the LCOE of a technology. In this session, speakers will share their latest developments in terms of new digital modelling solutions or the need to consider additional aspects in the design phase, such as the specific deployment sites, marine operations (including installation, operations and maintenance) or the life cycle of the energy device.
