Although the wind energy technology is considered to be one of the most mature renewable energy technologies, development and improvements is pivotal to make wind generated power more abundant an even more competitive energy. Knowledge sharing plays an important role in moving continued innovation forward.
DNV has worked with the wind industry since the mid-80s. Today we are the leading certification body for onshore and offshore wind turbines and support structures. To meet customers and share knowledge, DNV employees travel to conferences and exhibitions to present their work.

Several papers within relevant topics like hydrodynamics, wave statistics, geotechnics, structural analyses, fatigue of steel structures etc. have been presented by DNV employees on conferences like OMAE, ISOPE and OTC. These papers have been worked out in connection with our work for the oil & gas industry, but they are equally relevant for the offshore wind industry.
