During this training course expert instructors will provide a technical overview of the main parameters and characteristics of offshore support structures for wind turbines.
In the first part of the course participants will learn to distinguish between the different types of loads faced by engineers during the design process of an offshore support structure and how these can be predicted and modelled using ocean, wind and soil data. The second lecture will delve into several important characteristics, such as strength and the applicability of the mainstream types of support structures. The potential of these structures is discussed together with their practical limitations.
The knowledge built up in the first two parts forms the basis for the last lecture on the theory of monopile design, in which vital technical design considerations will be discussed. The training course will conclude with a case on the design of a monopile. A perfect way to experience first-hand how complex it can be to design a monopile.
You receive 1-year unlimited access to the course. This allows you to review the material again if you need to refresh knowledge for your work projects.
