Site and Field Services
Our specialist skills, project experience and field services equipment for conducting resource measurements, investigations and electrical testing provides project developers and equipment manufacturers with development and operational support. We deliver bespoke test routines, carry out performance assessments and conduct data collection and analysis. We can also perform inspections, maintenance and failure investigations and carry out electrical testing of components or whole systems onshore and offshore.
Our field services, laboratory testing and specialist expertise includes:
- Oceanographic resource measurement
- Site investigations
- Electrical services
Technology Assessment Process (TAP)
We offer clients a technology assessment service. TAP provides a standardised framework for the assessment of wave and tidal energy systems, allowing technology to be benchmarked in a number of key areas. We have developed this from our own internal technology assessment process, recognising the urgent need for the marine energy sector to adopt a more robust development methodology to provide investors with a means to compare technology. We characterise a technology against four stages of design maturity, providing the client with an independent, evidence-based report on the technology with recommendations to de-risk multi device integration and advise on the technology development route through to commercialisation.
Modelling – Levelised Cost of Energy
We have developed benchmark models for device families. Our energy modelling team can provide LCoE model review, or design, assumptions review and forecast verification, carry out sensitivity analysis on Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) data to determine variations in project OPEX.
Dissemination
We disseminate outputs through a robust internal knowledge management system, delivering public presentations, organising technical workshops, posting knowledge documents on our website and posting data on our Wave & Tidal Knowledge Network. Where a client has a dissemination obligation, we can manage or support that activity on their behalf.
