In these challenging times, access to detailed data, insight and tools within the wind energy sector can make the difference between success and failure. As the profile of offshore wind continues to grow, companies with significant experience and resources gained from other industries can make substantial contributions toward enhanced efficiencies across the offshore wind development lifecycle.
As the industry matures, increased amounts of data are being made available to developers, fuelling the decisions that lead to success, even before any financial commitments are made. This data ranges from market intelligence to wind and metocean measurement, intelligent wind resource analytics, subsurface imaging, and data management considerations. Crucially, as the volume and diversity of raw data volumes increase, more resources are required by developers to make full use
of this enhanced knowledge.
