AI for Offshore Wind Farm Layout, Wake Effects & Maintenance Optimization

Use AI to optimize turbine layout, wake interactions, and maintenance planning to maximize AEP and minimize downtime offshore.

Wake losses and harsh conditions challenge offshore wind economics. AI-driven layout and control reduce wake impacts, optimize cable routes, and plan maintenance windows, boosting yield and availability.

Yaw/induction control for wake steering.

Curtailed operation for loads and grid constraints.

Weather/sea state windows for vessels/helicopters.

Wind resource and metocean datasets; spatial tiling.

SCADA/LiDAR for calibration; CMMS for failures.

Geospatial constraints (shipping lanes, fisheries, cables, UXO).

Frequently asked questions

What types of reports can be generated for financiers and regulators regarding the simulator’s performance?

Reports for financiers/regulators on yield and risk.

How does mysimulator.uk collect data related to ocean conditions, seabed topography, and constraints?

Gather metocean/bathymetry/constraint data; baseline layout and wake models.

Can the simulator be calibrated using real-time data from SCADA systems and LiDAR sensors, and can it simulate advanced wind turbine control strategies?

The simulator can be calibrated using data from SCADA and LiDAR to accurately reflect actual operating conditions, allowing users to test and refine wind farm control strategies like wake steering.

How can the system optimize cable routes and develop operational & maintenance plans, incorporating features like yaw and induction control?

The system allows for the optimization of underwater cable routes alongside the creation of detailed O&M plans; this includes utilizing pilot yaw/induction control to fine-tune turbine performance.
