Technical Studies
OWC draws on a vast range of technical expertise across both engineering and renewable energy, enabling us to provide a wide range of technical studies to provide detailed evaluations in almost every area of interest. Our technical studies can be applied at any stage of a project or asset’s lifecycle, providing technical assessments to support decision-making in maximising a project’s performance, viability and profitability.
OWC’s technical studies provide accurate and impartial technical advice to support decision-making at any stage of a project or asset’s lifecycle. Technical studies can give definition as to an asset, site or project’s viability, performance, and even profitability.
We provide expertise across a wide array of areas in renewable energy onshore and offshore, covering, among other areas, the following:
- Fixed and Floating Foundation Design, including Coupled Load Assessments
- Weather Downtime Analysis (sequenced downtime analysis utilizing Monte Carlo simulation)
- Turbulence impacts on energy production and operational downtime due to induced fatigue
- Wake Effects and Windfarm Layout Optimisation
- Turbine Controller Assessment
- Technical Risk Assessments
- CAPEX and OPEX modelling
Where we work
Geoscience
Across any ground engineering project – whether offshore or onshore – we can provide multi-disciplinary geo-consulting guidance to steer your project in the right direction.
Cable Consultancy and Engineering
OWC provides the services our clients require to fulfil their mission of designing cable routes, installing and protecting cables, and maintaining and repairing cables for their offshore wind projects.
Electrical Engineering
