Setting up arrays – 2+2=5

The design and optimisation of array projects is a complex multi-parameter problem that needs to be addressed to meet the sector’s ambitious cost-reduction and deployment targets. Sharing mooring systems, choosing optimal layouts, improving the control strategy or planning of marine operations for installation, O&M, and decommissioning are some of the topics that will be introduced by the speakers in this insightful session.

THURSDAY, 20 October 11:30 – 13:00 room 6-7
