Program & planning
Program content
The program covers 4 main domains, the concepts and methodologies taught being later applied to a final technical and economic development project, followed by a professional integration period within a company (4 to 6 months).
- Environmental conditions
- Environmental impacts and societal acceptance
- Economics & Regulatory framework
- Wind turbines
- Offshore substructures for bottom-fixed and floating systems
- Offshore wind farm layout and yield assessment
- Electrical engineering
- Installation and commissioning
- Operation and maintenance
- Integrated project for offshore wind farm development
- Site visits
- Professional integration period
Program schedule
The two examples of schedules shown below correspond to the most frequently encountered cases for students in this program:
- a 16-month continuous program for students with a 4- or 5-year degree,
- and an alternating school/company 16-month program.
Another possible case for the students in their penultimate year of a European school or university having signed a double-degree with IFP School:
