Designing tools for offshore transmission. How do we make robust decisions under severe uncertainty?

Researchers at Durham University and ORE Catapult will be hosting a half-day event to showcase their recent research and, with input from attendees, discuss how we might enhance the work further.

We will present our tool for offshore wind power asset planning to make robust risk-informed decisions under severe uncertainty.

In the second half of the event, we will discuss our work, with the aim to elicit feedback from attendees and enable the tool to be tailored to meet the needs of the industry better as we go forward.

The event is ideal for those working in offshore wind (including developers, OFTOs and consultancies) who would like to learn about and feed into the development of a tool to make robust decisions under severe uncertainty.
