Wave Radars for Offshore Wind Industry - Monitoring and Testing
Weather is a major risk factor for offshore operations. Wave and tide data are of great importance during all stages of offshore wind farm development and operation. In all offshore operations weather is a major risk factor. Knowledge of the present site conditions assists the crew in determining an optimum weather window during which operations can be performed safely. This increases operational efficiency, reduces costs and prevents workability discussions.
Real time wave monitoring provides essential information for (jack-up) vessels during offshore operations. Jacking operations, crane operations, towing and such are typically limited by a maximum wave height of two meters or even less.
Accurate real time wave and tide data allows for:
- increased operational efficiency
- maximised use of weather windows
- safe personnel transfer
- safe access to turbine platforms from service vessels
- safe jacking operations
