JBA Consulting has teamed up with ScottishPower Renewables (SPR) and the Met Office to apply its metocean forecasting and planning tool, ForeCoast Marine, to two of SPRs’ offshore wind farms: Wikinger and East Anglia ONE.
ForeCoast Marine enables weather downtime strategies to be optimised at every phase of a project. ForeCoast Marine will be used at the Wikinger offshore windfarm to inform and help manage live metocean risks during the installation process. It will also be used to explore the impacts of different installation and Operation and Maintenance (O&M) strategies on project financials and health and safety considerations for East Anglia ONE.
