His team will support clients with early conceptual design, site screening and pre-feasibility assessments, ensemble wake modelling, layout and turbine optimisation, mesoscale modelling, wind resource assessments, post-construction operational yield assessments, and third-party energy yield reviews.
Will Cleverly, OWC managing director, said: “Given the increasing complexity faced by offshore wind developers – from larger wind turbines, to floating technologies and deeper waters – the successful development of offshore wind farms has never been more reliant on a precise assessment of the wind resource. So now is the right time to build up this specialist competence in-house.”
OWC is part of the AqualisBraemar LOC Group which has offices in Aberdeen.
