INTEGRATED SOLUTION for Offshore Wind & Ocean Assessment

An Integrated Solution for Offshore Wind & Ocean Assessment

Wind emulatormachine learning tools to predict wind regimes

Metocean forecastinghigh-resolution models & visualization of metocean forecasts through dedicated web platforms

High frequency wind dynamicslocal orography studies to prevent turbine tiredness

Wind atlas processing & delivery

of wind atlases (e.g. Norsewind)

Maritime traffic

vessel geopositioning (Argos, AIS, SAT-AIS,

Iridium, Inmarsat and coastal radar)

Winds at hub level

using sea surface SAR measurements to extrapolate wind

at 150 meters

Environmental impact

environmental assessment & monitoring: noise, pollution, sediments, marine resources

Wind wakes / blockage measurement & analyses of wake & blockage effects to improve models

In situ measurements

using a variety of instruments (LiDAR, current meter, wave

gauges and acoustic sensors)

Wind Assessment derived from SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) satellites

Ocean Assessment from multiple data sources

OUR UNIQUE EXPERTISEfor offshore wind

We merge huge amounts of data to make it intelligible

and directly usable. Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR)

satellite imagery, combined with in-situ data, LiDAR, and models, guarantees

a fine-grained assessment of wind potential.
