How to support the wind turbine of the future?
Ferdy Hengeveld -
Manager Mechanical Engineering,
Van Oord
- Recent tender awards: trend of decreasing prices for offshore wind energy is continuing
- Wind turbines are getting bigger and external conditions increase in complexity
- Enormous pressure on the designers and supply chain to come up with improved foundation designs and installation methods meeting all requirements
- Challenges for future foundations, e.g. related to manufacturing, transport, installation, noise mitigation etc.
- Ongoing innovations that aim to solve those challenges: pile driving and noise mitigation of large monopiles
- Slip joint connection that will be implemented in the innovation site Borssele V: the first time a submerged slip joint is used on a full size wind turbine on a full commercial basis

Substructure connections
Dirk Pulles -
Manager Renewables,
KCI
- Substructure connections and residual risks; are we there yet?
- Connections have been around since the early days of offshore wind. While the grouted and flanged connections have been fully adopted, other innovative solutions have been proposed and developed
- Discuss the latest developments and status of different concepts, share challenges and successes about market introductions and prepare yourself for future substructure connections!
