Workshops

> How is Poland reinforcing its OW supply chain to tackle OW projects and how can Polish-Dutch cooperation contribute to filling the gaps and/or how could we form strategic partnerships?

Time: 10:30 – 13:00, 01.09.2021
Venue: Room Nil (Ground floor)

The Round Tables are set up to actively share knowledge on specific topics within different project phases. The aim is to share lessons-learnt, to combine PL-NL expertise and set-up valuable co-operations to build future OWF in PL. The NL participants, with expertise in their field, will elaborate on the challenges they have been facing while implementing OWF in The Netherlands (and abroad) and how these have been tackled based on their past experience. The PL participants will share their view on the current state of the OWF sector in PL and their field of expertise and discuss the challenges and issues that may arise or particular questions they have to enhance their knowledge.

PROGRAMME

  • 10.30: Introduction by NL Embassy (Why co-operation, aiming at sharing lessons learnt – Sanne or Martin)
  • 10.40: Offshore Wind in NL by NWEA (OW in NL, how can PL benefit from our learning curve)
  • 10.50: Panel discussion on NL-PL cooperation (PWEA/PSMEW, NWEA moderated by Embassy)

Polish monopile – a pipe dream or reality?

Time: 11:30 – 12:30, 01.09.2021
Venue: Room Wisła (First floor)

Sponsor:

Join the practical workshop from Dajin – a leading manufacturer of heavy steel structures, where you will learn about the types of structures planned for Polish offshore wind farms. You will find out about the technical parameters dedicated for offshore wind and what they depend on. You will discover new technical trends and product development directions to deploy new and future-oriented projects. You will understand the key manufacturing challenges, and practitioners will help you answer the question whether Poland can cope with them.

Finally, you will learn about the participation of the Polish supply chain from the very first offshore wind farm projects in the Baltic Sea. For the share of local content in the construction of first wind farms in the Baltic Sea to reach the planned level of 25%, it is necessary to build, expand, and develop new technologies, services and products based on the existing industrial and logistic potential in Poland. We need to fill the blank spots on the map of component manufacturing and services for offshore wind.

Take part in Dajin’s practical workshop if you want to be part of the local content in the construction of offshore wind farm foundations.

The workshop will take place on 1 September, the 3rd day of PWEA2021 Conference in Serock.

Venue: Room NIL (Parter)

Side event partner:

We would like to initiate a dialogue with suppliers and sub-suppliers interested in joining the development of the largest offshore wind project in the Polish part of the Baltic Sea.

The Baltica Offshore Wind farm, with a total capacity of up to 2.5 GW, developed in a 50/50 joint venture by Orsted and PGE Baltica – part of the PGE Group, will generate green energy for over 30 years for approx. 4 million Polish households, reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 8 million tonnes a year and ensuring development of the Polish economy.

Polish companies already present in the offshore wind market can strengthen their positions, and new players can join the game by partnerships with those more experienced. Our series of workshops is aimed at helping them in this process. At the workshop planned for 30 August you will learn about:

  • framework procurement schedule, including expected times of key tenders
  • recommendations for suppliers, including necessary conditions to take part in tenders
  • ways to support Polish companies on their journey to the global offshore wind market
  • success stories of local suppliers joining the global offshore wind supply chain

Workshop partner:

Welcome to our practical Workshop, which will allow you to get to know the latest digital technologies used in wind farm operation, monitoring, inspections, as well as in wind energy production analysis, for both onshore and offshore wind farms.

During our session, best practices will be described, applying the most advanced tools as well as our know-how.

We will demonstrate to the audience the best practices related to the estimations leading to preliminary yield assessments and the “state of the art” in resource assessment and optimization for onshore and offshore wind farms.

At the same time, we will present the latest Remote Monitoring solutions that bring to the Renewable Energy sector a completely new and innovative proposal for renewable assets. This platform is specifically designed to provide “customized” solutions to each of the different user profiles that intervene throughout the life of a Renewable Energy asset and interact with it through monitoring, control or analysis.

You will also have a chance to look at the cutting edge Digital Inspection Platform, designed for inspection of your Renewable Energy assets.

And there will be more.

All of the above tools can be extended to onshore and offshore wind farms (and quite often to PV plants).

Welcome to the new digital era for your Renewable Energy assets. We are looking forward to your attendance.

UL Renewables team.
