LEADER TABLE OF CONTENTS A united industry thinking big Denmark has a unique position in offshore wind. We are among the world leaders in development and implementation of new technology and we are adept at creating innovative and lasting solutions across the sector. Each day we demonstrate how to integrate large volumes of wind energy into the Danish power system, and that offshore wind is an important and effective player in the transformation to a green energy supply. At the same time we maintain a cutting edge focus on driving down the cost of offshore wind energy through a range of public-private partnerships working in close collaboration with industry. Setting foot in Danish waters means riding the wave of innovation and becoming part of the adventure. This magazine takes you on a voyage through Denmark’s unique offshore wind seascape. We start with how to structure a national power system based largely on wind energy before taking a look at how well coordinated research plays a major role for innovation. Next we explore how the Danish industry’s shared focus on scaling-up projects and adopting better construction practices is set to achieve significant cost reductions and make life safer for workers. Our voyage nears its end with the story of how Denmark reaches out to share its knowledge with other countries and in turn learns from their expertise. Last but not least we look at how experience gained from a quarter century of offshore wind plant operation in Denmark provides unique insight into how best to develop highly efficient and safe operations and maintenance routines. Welcome aboard. Enjoy the ride!
