This is a practical conference in which the key players in the sector involved in developing, operating and maintaining wind farms will show and discuss the main innovations to improve the efficiency of wind farms and reduce operation and maintenance (O&M) costs.
- Anti-corrosion protection is key to the durability of offshore wind farm structures. It will be one of the main topics that will be addressed in the sessions, due to the extreme conditions to which they are exposed.
- Ensuring the durability of components is critical to the long-term viability of such projects.
- Anti-corrosion protection represents one of the greatest opportunities to optimise the performance of offshore wind farms. This is a key aspect that contributes directly to the reliability and efficiency of these installations, which are essential for the transition towards cleaner and more sustainable energy.
On 27 and 28 November, companies such as DNV, PPG, and NAVANTIA, among others will present their success stories at the Faculty of Science and Technology of the UPV-EHU in Leioa.
This collaborative meeting between industry, the university and the Basque network of technology and innovation centres will act as a meeting point for professionals from the offshore industry and its value chain, as well as being a bridge between the market and the university for all final-year students.
Some of the topics to be discussed at the “Conference on Corrosion in Marine Environments”
- Corrosion and protection of marine structures
- New coatings and cathodic protection systems
- Corrosion monitoring and digital technologies
- New steels and advanced materials
- Solutions for high-voltage cables and the floating sector
