Offshore Wind Turbines Architecture & System Integration for Offshore Graduate Engineers & Technicians (OWTASIGT) Level 1

Description

The Offshore Wind Turbines Architecture & System Integration for Offshore Graduate Engineers & Technicians (OWTASIGT) Level 1 course is designed to provide foundational knowledge and skills to individuals interested in pursuing a career in the offshore wind energy industry. This course specifically focuses on the architecture and system integration aspects of offshore wind turbines.

The course is targeted towards graduate engineers and technicians who have a background in engineering or a related field. It covers a wide range of topics related to offshore wind turbines, including the following:

Introduction to Offshore Wind Energy: The course begins with an overview of offshore wind energy and its significance in the renewable energy sector. It covers the basics of wind energy conversion and the advantages of offshore wind farms.

Offshore Wind Turbine Components: Participants will learn about the various components that make up an offshore wind turbine, such as the rotor blades, nacelle, generator, tower, and substructures. The course delves into the design, functionality, and integration of these components.

Wind Turbine Control Systems: The course explores the control systems used in offshore wind turbines to optimize power production, ensure safe operation, and adapt to changing wind conditions. It covers pitch control, yaw control, and other important aspects of turbine control.

Electrical Systems and Integration: Participants will gain an understanding of the electrical systems within offshore wind turbines, including the power converter, transformer, cabling, and grid connection. The course explains the integration of these systems and their interaction with the overall turbine operation.

Substructures and Foundations: This section of the course focuses on the different types of substructures and foundations used in offshore wind farms. Participants will learn about monopiles, jackets, gravity-based structures, and floating platforms, along with their design considerations and installation methods.

Maintenance and Operations: The course concludes with an overview of the maintenance and operations aspects of offshore wind turbines. Participants will learn about maintenance strategies, monitoring systems, troubleshooting, and safety procedures.

Throughout the course, participants will engage in theoretical learning through lectures and presentations, as well as practical exercises and case studies to apply their knowledge. They may also have the opportunity to visit offshore wind farms or virtual simulations to gain real-world insights.

Upon completion of the OWTASIGT Level 1 course, participants will have a solid foundation in the architecture and system integration of offshore wind turbines. They will be equipped with the knowledge and skills necessary to work effectively in various roles within the offshore wind energy industry, including engineering, operations, and maintenance.

Offshore wind turbine energy is moving forward at a fast pace and needs people with different skills and differing levels of experience to continue to drive innovation.

This course is structured for graduates and engineers from other disciplines switching careers into offshore wind energy and covers Lifecycle Of Offshore Wind Turbine Farm, Main Elements of an Offshore Wind Farm, Offshore Wind Farm Design, Site Selection, Layout Architecture, Offshore Support Structure, Primary Support Structure Design Inputs, Future Trends for Offshore Winds, Offshore Wind Farm Electrical Architecture, Offshore Wind Farm Substations, Onshore Substations, Subsea Cables, Installation, Risk and Obstacles, Offshore Wind Farm Project Costing, Offshore Wind Turbine Careers paths for Scientific, Engineering, Construction and Business backgrounds.
