Offshore Wind Farm development will be in the focus of attention of more than 150 wind energy experts at the conference "Hamburg Offshore Wind" in September.

The opening session "The Real Life" deals with experience gained from the operation and installation of Q7, Beatrice, Horns Rev and FINO. During the second block "The Connection" an expert panel is discussing the challenges of grid connection. The third block called "The Basics" highlights the latest national and international standards, which are being published or due publishing. The final session will outline "The Future", such as actual progress on the German offshore demonstrator, and engineering tools as well as methods leading to optimised solutions.
