Every year we organise our Matchmaking Day in February. During this event key players in the offshore wind sector meet and get information on the upcoming tenders in 2020 and new projects and the results of TKI Wind op Zee projects are presented.
Program
The morning program is for participants in the TKI Wind op Zee only.

More information about the Matchmaking Sessions
The matchmaking sessions will focus on different topics. Herewith you find a short description per topic:
Zero breakdown & robotization
This session will focus on research and development of systems and methods to increase the operational reliability of a wind farm by limiting production failures due to malfunctions, repairs and maintenance. This can be achieved through innovative construction methods, the development of intelligent sensor and monitoring systems for below and above the waterline, applications of self-healing materials and components, and robotization of inspection and maintenance activities.
Optimal wind farm design
Research and development that aims to increase the production of wind farms. For example: optimization of turbines, better design of the wind farm, location aspects and clusters of wind farms. This also takes into account the space requirements of other users of the sea.
Balance of plant optimisation
This concerns methods aimed at improving all parts of a wind farm, with the exception of the turbines themselves. You can think of the foundations and the network connection as well as the components, from manufacturing to transport & installation and decommissioning.
Integration in the energy system
The integration into the energy system addresses the integration problem of very large quantities of sustainable electricity from the sea and possible solutions for this such as transport, storage, conversion, and chain coordination. However, there are costs associated with these flexible solutions that must also be reduced.
Integration into the environment
This concerns the development of methods for building wind farms in such a way that the negative effects of this use of space on other users of the North Sea (such as fishing, nature and the environment, shipping, alternative forms of energy extraction and food production at sea) are mitigated as much as possible. The intention is to stimulate positive effects as much as possible in the pursuit of a net positive contribution.
