Welcome back to another episode of the Warehouse Engineering Podcast!
I usually focus on warehouse engineering and automation, so this episode marks a departure from my usual topics. Ole-Erik is an entrepreneur in the offshore wind sector, and we were fellow PhD students at the University of Stavanger—where his entrepreneurial journey began.
In our conversation, we cover a broad range of topics: the role (or absence) of AI in maintenance strategies for offshore wind farms, agent-based modeling of such farms, and why offshore wind farms can be viewed as complex adaptive systems—a perspective that hints at how his company originated from a PhD project. We also discuss the challenges of new tenders in the offshore wind industry and much more.
This episode was recorded as bonus material for the new online-only study program Offshore Wind at the University of Stavanger, specifically for the course Introduction to Offshore Wind Energy (WIN100).
Enjoy my conversation with Ole-Erik Endrerud!
