Webinar Horizon floating substructures and connection systems for floating PV and ocean energy devices.

The Norwegian Offshore Wind Cluster and the Norwegian Solar Energy Cluster invite you to a webinar targeting the Horizon Europe call CL5-2021-D3-02-10: Innovative foundations, floating substructures and connection systems for floating PV and ocean energy devices. 

Project results are expected to contribute to all of the following outcomes: 

• Improved overall life time, reliability, installability, operability and maintainability of marine substructures, mechanical joints and energy connection systems for ocean energy devices and/or offshore floating PV to reduce degradation and failure rates and thus investment risk.
• Better understanding of the device’s real life performance allowing a safe reduction in the over-engineering of devices’ specifications.
• Reduction of LCOE in line with the SET Plan targets
• Contribution to the objectives of the Mission Healthy oceans, seas, coastal and inland waters.
