By GlobalData“Our software and turnkey sensor solutions are designed to minimise project execution risk and to make wind farm operations more cost-efficient, both in the development and the operations and maintenance phases.”
Marine optimisation software helps wind farm developers to reduce construction as well as operating risk, cut costs and limit their environmental footprint.
Vissim reports that its software has been designed to consolidate input from multiple data sources such as maritime surveillance systems, radio communication, vessel traffic management and people management.
Its software is deployed, or in the process of being deployed, in 21 offshore wind farms across England, Scotland, Germany, France and Japan.
Vissim CEO Per Henæs said: “We believe developers and operators of offshore wind farms can run more cost-efficient operations if they take an even more standardised approach to marine management services across wind farms worldwide.
“We will definitely consider further acquisitions in order to support such an approach.”
