EERA DeepWind 2021 is an international event aiming to present the best on-going research and innovation related to deep sea offshore wind farms, both bottom-fixed and floating. The conference is hosted by SINTEF and NTNU and organized in cooperation with the European Energy Research Alliance (EERA) joint programme on wind energy.

The conference has been developing every year since 2004, and is established as an important venue on deep sea offshore wind R&D. The programme includes a mix of plenary presentations with broad appeal and presentations in parallel sessions or by posters on specific science and technology themes.

Topics included are:

• New turbine and generator technology
• Grid connection and system integration
• Met-ocean conditions
• Operation & maintenance
• Installation and sub-structures
• Wind farm optimization and control
• Experimental testing and validation
• Energy transition perspectives
• Sustainable wind development

Speakers (more to be announced):

• Tina Bru
  Minister of Petroleum and Energy, Norway
• Nils Røkke
  Executive Vice President Sustainability, SINTEF
• Carlos Eduardo Lima da Cunha
  Policy Officer, European Commission
• John Olav Tande
  Chief Scientist, SINTEF Energy Research
• Peter Eecen
  R&D Manager, TNO
• Trond Kvamsdal
  Professor, NTNU
• Amy Robertson
  Researcher VI-Mechanical Engineering, The National Renewable Energy Laboratory
• Lena Kitzing
  Researcher, Energy Economics and Regulation, DTU Management
• Katherine Dykes
  Head of Section, Systems Engineering & Optimization, DTU Wind Energy

Here the preliminary programme.

“The EERA Deep wind conference combines serious offshore wind research, offshore science and offshore engineering in a matter of fact form. Participation puts those at the event at the cusp of offshore research in progress and while showing the solutions needed to drive the further development of offshore wind. It is the intellectual equivalent of a good tough skiing holiday.” Aidan Cronin, Siemens/Chair ETIPwind
