IQPC Worldwide Past Events

Substructures for UK Offshore Wind Foundation design, construction and installation for future projects. Optimizing offshoresubstructures is one of the key challenges for reducing LCOE.Foundation designers have produced a variety of different solutions: monopiles,GBS, jackets, suction buckets and floating foundations.Looking at U.K. projects – differentsoils, water depths, fabrication timelines and installation challenges create many questionsfor the industry to solve. We’re entering uncharted territory; projects are larger, farther and more complex than ever completed.

A full supply-chain view of optimising offshore installation procedures. Optimising transport and installation is a key challenge for offshore wind. With development of larger turbines and far-offshore wind farms, it is vital to improve vessel use and port infrastructure. Collaboration from the complete supply-chain is needed to simplify complicated interfaces and reduce installation times. Now is the time to have a close look at lessons learned and define the room for improvement for the offshore wind industry.

Optimise full life cycle safety, reliability, performance and efficiency whilst reducing operational costs. Optimising the life cycle costs is the key challenge for effective asset management. Wind turbine owners and operators are working on frameworks to ensure that their assets stay in appropriate condition over the whole life cycle whilst increasing output by improved performance and decreasing costs at the same time. Advances in asset management will help to push the industry forward by creating a holistic framework with the overall goal of cutting down the CoE.

Project experience with design, construction and commercialisation of offshore wind foundations. Offshore Foundations is a technical event for experts in the wind industry. The goal is to push forward technical development for future foundation concepts. Whether through learning from practical experience or exploring research and prototypes, we hope to increase cost-efficiency and bring these ideas closer to commercial application.

Efficient concepts and materials for higher hub heights and cost savings The wind power industry is growing with the ongoing trend towards taller towers and larger turbine capacity. Hub heights need to be increased while cutting down costs for materials at the same time. Advances in Wind Turbine Towers is a technical event for experts in the wind industry and the goal is to push forward technical development for future tower concepts. The conference will deal with current developments, improved technology and new concepts on steel tubular towers, lattice towers, pre-stressed concrete and hybrid towers.

First-hand insights into managing offshore wind cabling projects. Cable damages stay a permanent issue with average costs of € 5 million per repair. Submarine cable repair account for more than 70 % of all insurance claims of installed wind parks. At the upcoming event you will get the opportunity to learn from offshore cable installation case studies and gain insights into latest offshore cable technologies and approaches. Opportunities and strategies for upgrading protection systems and utilising available data from condition monitoring will be discussed.

Offshore Foundations is a technical event for experts in the wind industry. The goal is to push forward technical development for future foundation concepts. Practical experience, current research and prototypes, will be discussed in order to increase cost-efficiency and to take the next steps towards the full commercialization of the industry.

Offshore Wind Power Substations is a technical event for experts in the wind industry. The goal is to optimise design, construction and operation of offshore substations and converter platforms. By learning from project experience and exploring research and prototypes, we hope to improve designs, simplify construction and reduce costs for the future of offshore energy transmission. It is now time to have a detailed look at lessons learnt and define the room for improvement for the offshore wind industry.

The Kuwait Sustainable Energy Conference and Exhibition has been put together to support Kuwait’s 2030 energy vision to increase energy supply from renewables to 15% and reduce energy usage per capita by bringing together key regional and international industry players to help formulate strategies, discuss the latest case studies and benchmark global best practice. The conference will serve as a vital platform to discuss both strategic and technical solutions for energy efficiency and power generation. In addition, the exhibition will facilitate networking and demonstrate the very latest technologies for renewable energy, building management systems & insulation, and power quality improvement.
