The document announces a 3rd International Conference on Optimising design and reducing lifecycle cost for offshore substations and converters to take place August 20-22, 2014 in Bremen, Germany. Confirmed speakers include engineering and project managers from major offshore wind energy companies in Europe. The conference will provide case studies on new design approaches and installation concepts for offshore substations. Participants can gain insights on operations and maintenance requirements and strategies to reduce costs over the lifetime of offshore wind farms. An interactive workshop day will address technical challenges such as substation design, geotechnical issues, electrical design risks, and operations and maintenance friendly design for offshore platforms.
