Simulation software tools

Install enables the user to simulate specific campaigns, including wind farm construction and large component replacement, without failure rate uncertainty and with maximum control over the logistics processes and vessels/ equipment to be determined. Install’s main feature is the allowed flexibility with which the user can describe the transport, construction, and installation processes. No matter how many ports, vessels, equipment and technicians, types of weather restrictions involved, Install can simulate them as accurately (or not) as you wish to describe them.

O&M Planner enables the user to run simulations, covering multiple years, to calculate O&M costs wind farm availability and energy production, including uncertainties based on weather input and input failure rates. The tool shows the impact of deploying types/ numbers of transport media such as vessels, helicopters, and others, each with their own weather dependencies and staff on total cost of O&M and lost production due to standstill. O&M Planner is currently developed to also satisfy the future offshore wind use cases, such as (but not limited to:) floating wind farms, wind farm clustering, resource sharing, and hydrogen production.

As offshore wind farms grow larger, scheduling daily maintenance is becoming too complex for humans to solve optimally. Using Despatch, supports schedulers to make better plans quicker, improving financial returns for the owner and operator. With the open work orders (what type of work on which wind turbine component, for how many person-hours estimated), resources available (e.g., vessels, technicians) and weather forecast as inputs, the software generates the optimal transfer plans (the time of each task being performed as well as the vessel and technicians employed for the task) based on the optimisation target (e.g., minimising energy loss or maximising income).

Once you simulate, you can inspect every detail of a simulation in the UWiSE Debugger. This desktop-based debugging interface is used to visualise the processes and events occurring during the software simulation process.
