Naval architect Will Brindley will showcase the design, build and testing of a first-of-its-kind system to charge electric offshore wind support vessels. The vessel’s on-board battery is plugged into a charging cable, which is deployed from the offshore wind platform. The vessel then taps into the renewable power generated by the offshore turbines, providing a system that is low cost, easily maintained and operated, and highly scalable.

Range is currently limiting the adoption of electric vessels to decarbonise the offshore support fleet; providing offshore charging points boosts the viability of these vessels. The talk explains some of the key challenges and solutions to safely connecting in the harsh North Sea environment.

We will meet at 6pm for tea and coffee. The presentation will begin at 6.30pm.
