Offshore Energy System Technology

2024/2025

Content, progress and pedagogy of the module

Learning objectives

Knowledge

  • Have knowledge about offshore wind/wave energy systems, modelling and simulation tools for offshore wind turbine and wind farm design
  • Have knowledge of fundamental principles and operations of both traditional and emerging offshore energy productions beyond wind and wave energy systems, such as the offshore oil & gas production, Power-to-X, Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage (CCUS) and Energy Islands etc.

Skills

  • Independently be able to define and analyse scientific problems involving offshore energy systems/subsystems
  • Be able to analyse methods for design and control of offshore wind farms and power plants
  • Be able to analyse methods for design and control of relevant energy production systems correlated to conventional oil & gas production, or emerging Power-to-X systems or CCUS or energy Islands etc.
  • Be able to relate the methods to applications in industry

Competences

  • Independently be able to be a part of professional and interdisciplinary development work within offshore energy systems
