This course is organised in cooperation with the DOB-Academy.
Course content
In this course participants will learn the basics of the offshore wind energy industry in inspiring lectures, which will contribute to understanding this rapid growth and identifying possible opportunities for the company. The lectures will be accompanied by two practical cases in which the gained knowledge will immediately be put into practice.
This course and its material are written and given entirely in English, however if all participants are Dutch, it is possible to give the lectures in Dutch.

Programme
Morning
In the morning, the societal and political aspects of the offshore wind industry will be discussed. After that, the production and distribution of energy from wind will be explained.
Afternoon
After the lunch, the life cycle of an offshore wind farm will be addressed and this knowledge will be brought to life by installing a miniature wind farm in our lab. This will be followed by a short introduction in the business case of a wind farm. The day will close with a peek into future technologies and an exam.
