Reference Case¶
Based on real Polish Baltic Sea offshore wind projects (Baltic Power 1.2 GW, Baltyk 2&3 1.4 GW) with parameters scaled to educational scope (510 MW). Compliant with PSE IRiESP and ENTSO-E NC RfG Type D requirements.
Purpose¶
This platform is an educational tool designed to demonstrate the full scope of competence expected from HV Control Engineers in the offshore wind industry. Every line of code is written to be explainable to a junior engineer while maintaining production-grade quality.
Lessons¶
Step-by-step learning log documenting every engineering decision — from project planning through DevOps foundation to internationalization.
